Recently picked up a Saber III VHF from ebay. Unit came complete with everything I need. However, I'm running into a problem attaching the speaker mic (NMN6166C). The plastic bracket that goes over the antenna has a small extender that allows the antenna to be screwed in once its in place. The extender will only screw into the radio about 1/2 turn, which tells me the thread pattern is different. The antenna screws into to the top of the extender just fine, and the antenna screws into the radio just fine. I notice that the extender has a center pin in it, which leads me to believe that it might be for an 800mhz radio vs. VHF.
Can anyone confirm this or point me to someplace that I might be able to purchase the proper extender so that I can attach the speaker mic?
Optionally I could clip off the bracket, but it looks to be used for strain relief and I'd rather not do that.
Thanks in advance.
