A few weeks ago we were talking about getting a hand-held

transceiver connected to the ship's external antenna.

Modern coax like RG141 is pretty stiff . . . RG142 less

so but still . . .



When you extend the ship's coax directly to the hand-held,

the result can look like this . . .

When the radio mounts a 'rubber duck' antenna, it's

very much like a microphone. Sticking that coax directly

into the top-mounted BNC connector makes the radio

a bit awkward.



Consider this approach . . .

A couple of right angle adapters and a rubber band

will route the coax down tight against the back of

the radio.
