If the antenna is a BNC, then this link may help. I understand that they are nice. I do not have one. I do have the Yaesu factory SMA-to-BNC connector, but...
I have that particular adaptor. The Motorola antenna has a screw in mount similar to the SMA, only larger threads. I'm experimenting with different antennas to...

Thanks for the replies, I was unclear if the E-DC-5B cord would run the radio or just charge the battery, I understand now. Will the supplied NC-72B Wall...
... Not really. The radio will receive just fine, but it will not transmit correctly. Presumably, the reason is that the wall wart is not regulated, and when...

1) 12-14 hours - stock battery. For extended capacity, do your math. 14 hours for 700 mAh, 33 hours for 1650 mAh. OK, maybe the 1650 mAh, probably being NiMH,...
Thanks guys for the great responses; very helpful! I ordered a Maha Smart Charger that comes with 8 AA 2200MAH batteries. The charger can run from the wall...
