I don't know that radio, but with an ht, almost anything would be an
improvement over the standard duck they come with. As someone else
suggested, a mobile antenna magmount would help a lot, something outside
even better. It kind of depends on what you can afford to spend. Also,
those jay poles aren't bad, you can hang them on a thumb tack in the
wall. Just be sure you get the right connector for your talkie. If it
is a push down and quarter turn to remove the rubber duck, it is
probably a bnc, if it screws off, probably s m a.
