Icom IC-R100 Antenna

[N1SQB]

I picked up a used IC-R100 receiver in very good condition for a low price. I own plenty of scanners for my Trunking/P25/DMR/NXDN etc. coverage. This purchase was just for fun. Mainly to use on civil/military aircraft bands, rail, etc. That being said, I am now looking around for a back-of-the-set telescopic antenna for VHF/UHF. I HATE adapters. Any recommendations?

This is my go to telescopic aerial.

765mm Telescopic Antenna Q9 BNC Connector Portable FM Radio Scanner VHF UHF -N | eBay Australia

Extended total length: 765mm. Applicable effect: Enhanced intercom receiver sensitivity, increased the range of walkie exhaled. Effectively increase the intercom call effect, increase in calling distance, lets calls more clearly, calls farther distance!

Thank you, but BNC will not work here without an adapter. I need one with a PL259 connector so I DON'T need to use an adapter.

An adaptor would not cause any issues in this case but all good if you have a thing against them.

My objection to them is that once in line using adapters, they are not stable. The antenna leans over to the sides if the radio is touched. I keep having to stand it back up a lot. When I am running 3-5 radios at once, it gets annoying. That's all. More annoyance than anything else.
