 JA>$5 cable from Amazon and CHIRP software. Add to that the repeaterbook

I bought a couple of antennas on Amazon for my wife's TYT's - didn't
know Male vs Female, so I have two of the WRONG ones. :-)

I needed SMA Male & got SMA Female - I was going by the THREADS and not
the PIN. :-)

Anyway, I think the Baofeng uses SMA Female, if you need an antenna...

I'm trying to decide what to do when I get my General... I don't have
a big budget for a nice 'shack' setup, but I'd like to do SOMETHING
more than the HT when the time comes...

Oh that's good. :-)
