| I would say any of the Diamond/Sharman X 2m/70cm range of antenna's would work well. BUT I'M GOING TO THROW A SPANNER IN THE WORKS The picture below is of a Baofeng T1 handy (allegedly) and it looks to have a fixed moulded antenna. So I'm not sure how you would go about joining them together. | |
