Outside of bnc connections, wires, looks like I have very little choice. The sma is too close to the knobs for any other antenna. I know Mr. trap that 1/2 the fun is wires. Done it, I'm in a bad spot, and I cant get up on the roof at the moment. Nothing frustrates you more than hearing that windsheild wiper noise every 30 khz or so. I dont get that noise now on my DUCK, actually right now I am trying 1 more antenna. 1 of those telescopic RADIO antennas-am/fm, 10 inches.I had a bnc for it. I am using wtsn in Dover N.H right now (7 miles away ) to check THIS 1. Wow, it catches a hum from my computer area. ( also scanner area-many running )4 feet away, hum stops...... You are right---''Half the fun of this is trying these things out. '' Shheeeeshhh, technology. Thx, Ron
