Maybe a silly question, but there is a point I promise.
Ok, so from reading other threads and various reviews, I see that antennas with SMA connectors are much maligned for developing intermittent issues if they are swapped out often. For me this is a problem because as of right now, I've not purchased a mobile rig and so am using a mobile antenna while mobile, and a big Diamond srh70ca when handheld and need to get out, and a little Diamond SRH519 when I need something more discreet or truthfully more wearable in the belt. That is a lot of antenna swapping. Where is the point of breakdown? Is it the antenna or is it the radio? This will only partially go away when I get my mobile rig (soon) because then I could use the cross-band repeat function to extend my range, But may still want the additional reach of a bigger antenna. If the breakdown is in the antenna, then I can live with a $20-$30 replacement from time to time, but if it's the radio, not so much.
Thanks in advance.
