![]() ![]() Good luck with your Wouxun portable radios, I see they make a 2 meter and 222 MHz version thay may need to invest in. ![]() But with the constantly reduced inventory that most Radio Shacks run with these days, your mileage may vary. I’ve also found the Reverse SMA or SMA Female adaptor available at Radio Shack stores and online. Although I prefer an adaptor that has a short pigtail to it to take the stress of connecting stiff coax cable to the small connection on the radio. Tower Electronics, my other go-to place for adaptors and connectors also carries the SMA Female to SO-239 connector and the SMA Female to BNC connector. ![]() Powerwerx, a retailer of Wouxun radios, such at the KG-UVD3 sells the proper adaptors that will work with all Wouxun models including the KG-UV3D, KG-UVA1, KG-833 and more. Since you need an adaptor to use an external antenna, regardless of the model of radio, the important fact is that the adaptor needs to be the correct style. This means that antennas and adaptors need to be reverse SMA if you want to connect an external antenna like the KB9VBR J-Pole antenna. Connecting an external antenna to a Wouxun radio is easy when you have the right adapter. Unlike most amateur handhelds on the market, were the female end of the SMA is on the radio, Wouxun engineered their radios with the male end on the radio. The rub with the Wouxun HTs is that their antenna connectors are reverse SMA. ![]()
