Ah the ony places I'm familer with are AES and HRO. I don't knwo what kind of connecter I have as I"m not up on these things The ruber duck that came with the thing you screw in to a hole in to the radio, not a projection like the yesu model I tried 3 years ago.
Someone suggested an antena that ARAES people use. (excuse spelling)
Tc and be blessed.
