Thank you for the info. I won't make the same mistake again. I do wish, however, that the Baofeng HTs would have been designed with an industry-standard antenna connector, rather than the non-standard one they do have. Unless one uses an after-market adapter, any other antenna than the stock one will not fit the antenna connector. The only exception to this is the Nagoya NA-771 VHF/UHF portable antenna, which has likely been designed for use with the Baofeng HTs (UV-5R, UV-5R+, et al).
