Also found a new antenna made for PC or chest rigs with extended X harness. I have NOT tested the SWR on it or any kind of low tech range yet, but the construction is solid. In short, it is literally what we have been waiting for. He's got a Baofeng version. A "Squad Leader" version which is going to be a bit more ruggedized due to the antenna connection, and then the RTO which gives you a QD TNC connector so you could switch say for example, between a PRC-148 and a Baofeng BF-8HP radio. (you'd need an SMA-F to TNC connector but it would totally work)
I'll post a pic of it on my Beez APTUM tomorrow. But here's a link.

And last but not least, let's not forget a discount code. Contacted my bro there and he offered this up for the gang.

Pics tomorrow!! (I hope i can remember)
I keep saying this but my gear has evolved a few iterations. I need to update this post with my Beez APTUM with comms gear updates (PRC-152) and wearable 2m/70cm radio, manpack version which I am still working on...
