    Short antenna back on and they worked great. I was confused and bamboozled.

    Know what you mean. Came home Sunday to no A/C.
    New blower motor arrives tomorrow, I'll deal with the heat after work and gitter done.

    Mom bearing with it and presently 87 indoor.

    It sounds like either the antenna is not making full contact on the connector or its busted. What you are describing is a broken connection with the antenna.

    i noticed some people with a newer baofeng. maybe there is a different upgrade for it?

    either way, its all about the mobile install now. or a yaesu handheld and mic. or both if you are me. or two mobiles and a handheld if you are me in a few months.

    That looks complicated. For me at least.

    Picked up this one during an Amazon flash sale for $50. A few of us swooped on them.

    Not trail tested yet, but it worked on Memorial Day when I called @jberry813 for help. Coax (that I bought from the HAM Radio Outlet) was already run for CB, so I just swapped out the antenna.

    I keep it mounted, but can remove the whole unit in 30 seconds if parked in a sketchy area.

    Those with fewer switches can put the little radios in the cubby.
