Hi Scott,
I'd go with that 47 inch.
I've used a 61 inch telescopic on an ht, a few years ago, and loved it!
I use to hit repeaters 35 to 40 miles away with it!
I used a B&C, that's what the antenna connected with, B&C to B&C. Maybe someone else had a good experience with an SMA to SMA, I can't comment on that kind of connection, but the antenna I used, I loved it!

  Subject: What's the best high gain antenna for the Wouxun handhelds?


  Good evening list:

  The subject says it all.  I've got a Wouxun KGUVD-1p ht here (2m 70cm model)
  and I'm looking for a high gain antenna for it.  D&L antenna has a boomer
  model, but I'm thinking 47 inches is a little much for ARES events and
  mobile use.  Besides, Can you just imagine sitting on a bus with something
  like that?  Anyway, any suggestions for a good high gain antenna for that
  radio would be most welcome!  Also, if you've got a good dealer, let me
  know.  I've taken a look at Radio City and Import Communications and I get
  lost trying to decide!  I'd just like to go with something with a bit more
  mustard than the supplied rubber duck!  Thanks for any help!
