  • Is your coax TV/video coax? If so, be careful with that because the impedance is likely 75ohm and your HT very likely expects 50ohm. How big of a problem that is is up to you to research/decide.

    If you don’t have appropriate coax some things you could try:

    • Adding a tiger tail to the existing antenna (assuming you could reassemble it)

    • getting higher up

    • If you can’t reassemble the OG antenna, use the connector and solder the dipole radiators to it directly
