Replacing the antenna with "Rubber"
Hi,
One more thing,
What is the policy on replacing the standard telescoping metal
antenna with an aftermarket short rubber-coated antenna?
Is there any performance difference, & would you recommend
such a change?
Thank you & best of the holiday season to you and yours!

Wahoo,
Happy to assist.
No, aftermarket transmitter antennas are against FCC regulation unless they are made by the manuf and type accepted with the radio. They are not recommended.

Wahoo,
It is against FCC regulation to change any transmitter antenna to anything which is not factory approved AND type certificated with the radio. Youa re changing a transmission component, which is against FCC regulation and therefore illegal in the US.
