Hi Everyone;

If you purchase an after market antenna for an ht:

1. Be certain that it is well constructed.  Also, try to get one as short as
possible.

If you have one that is too heavy or can get caught on obstacles, you will
most certainly break off the SMA or BNC connecter.

I use the Commit 320H on my TH-F6A and it works just fine.

However, I am not a big fan of after market antennas.
