I've ordered a vertical 2m/70cm antenna for mounting outside and wish to connect to my UV-5R.

I need a shortish lead that adapts for connection to an N-type coax cable - apparently these are called "pigtails". So, if I understand correctly I need a N-type female to SMA female pigtail/lead adapter. Can I find one - just spent two hours searching!

Help you techies, please! I don't want to solder anything - I want it ready made (and reliable quality).? I'm located in the UK.

One of these should work depending on the connection on each end:








If I got the wrong connection on the radio end, search for:

SMA male to n female

and replace male or female accordingly. You can do this on Google,
Amazon, eBay, or any search engine. I always forget which connection
is on the radio, a male or a female.
