Dakota Alert M538-HT MURS rubber duck antenna question

MURS Radios

To answer your questions,

  1. Apparently this is called an “M4 70 Pitch” connector.

  2. According to Dakota Alert, this is a proprietary connector that they chose when they originally designed the M528-HT and as far as they know there is no antenna or adapter on the market that will fit it other than the one included with the radio.

  3. The Wouxun KG-805M is a powerful MURS radio that is loaded with features, including channel scan, CTCSS tones/DCS codes and customizable channels. It’s part of the KG-805 series, so the battery, charger and other accessories for the KG-805F FRS and KG-805G GMRS versions are fully compatible with it. We have a video on it in the forum as well. Plus, it’s $5 less than the M538-HT.

  4. The short answer is, I wouldn’t try a BNC adapter on it. I’ve been told some hams have modified the M538-HT by replacing the factory installed connector and soldering in a BNC or SMA connector, but I wouldn’t recommend this either myself.
