    Diamond SRH77CA HT Antenna (SMA)

    Diamond’s super popular handheld scanner/ham antenna. **This is the SMA version** I’ve owned a few of these with a BNC connector for my scanners over the years and decided to get a SMA version to fit directly on my FT-60R. But I personally prefer to have something more flexible for my HT...

It may fall under the 'next model' wishlist. At any rate I would like to have the ability to receive FM radio...
