If you use a new whip/duck antenna on your GT what brand is it and does it fit all the way on and not just the first few threads?

The ExpertPower (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008Y2SPE4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) antenna works well. It screws all the way down inside the plastic ring around the antenna mount. It is a close fit but you shouldn't have any problems with it. It will be easy to tighten, you won't have to force it. The Nagoya 701 &771 (http://www.amazon.com/NAGOYA-NA-701-Antenna-BAOFENG-KG-UVD1P/dp/B00BY3XOSW/ref=pd_sim_e_27) are not as easy. They base of the antenna is wider and will bottom out on the plastic ring around the mount point. These antennas will only engage a thread or two and will not make contact properly. The best solution I have found it to use a F-SMA to BNC adapter. The BNC mount will be high enough to let you use any brand BNC antenna. The mount I use is the Wouxun WXBNCB. It isn't found here on Amazon though. I get mine from AES for $6.95. It is a black adapter and blends in well with the Baofeng radios. A chrome adapter might not look too bad with the GT-3 since it has the chrome volume knob but with the other Baofeng radios the black is much nicer. Most of my radios use some sort of BNC adapter so I can keep antennas simple and have the ease of quick disconnect in vehicles. Every Diamond and Comet BNC antenna has worked well on the GT-3 with no clearance problems of any kind.

The base has a raised ring around it, so my Nagoya antenna from my UV-5R will not fit. I have a high gain MFJ-1717s antenna that fits snugly inside the raised ring and performs very well.

It's a BNC style connector on the magnetic antenna. It replaces the supplied "rubber duck" antenna. No wiring at all, just place the mag mount antenna on the roof, and carefully run the coax through the door and shut the door on it. Don't expect a lot of range out of this, but you will hear truckers with the antenna on the roof, whereas the rubber duck is useless inside the vehicle.

They make a different one for the convertibles. This one has a fin on the top in the back for the antenna, which would have little impact on it fitting. I wouldnt doubt that it would fit.

What type of antenna are you using. On my midland magnetic mount it tuned to good SWR. On my Xterra with an antenna on the roof rack I had to add a thicker longer ground wire to the antenna mount.. SWR is related to the antenna more than the radio.

Do yourself a big favor and visit the newertech website, and contact them. The thing worked great up until I upgraded to 10.9.5 and it was that very moment I needed a patch for the antenna to work. They sent a patch to me via email. They may have all patches on their site now. Either way, it's best to contact them before buying.

Looking on Facebook in the name Baofeng, they state they are the main distributor for the GT3. They go on to offer a triband antenna and first list it as SMA Male connector, then underneath that show it as SMA Female. But then it seems quite pointless to even offer a triband antenna for a band which no Baofeng covers. Ask RadioMart - and maybe even suggest they correct the entry linked to their Facebook page .

I've had 2 of the K40's over a 25 year span and as far as I know, the mount is made by K40. Check their web site or that of the other antenna you have to see if you can find a name. sorry...

If you use a pen or screwdriver to widen the hole and wet the hole it will "screw" onto the antenna. I use it that way on my car.

Yep, fits perfect! I got it on mine now. I live just south of Nashville in middle Tennessee with lots off hills, valleys, trees, tall and short buildings, about any possible geography, etc and I can not notice any lost reception whatsoever! Also, I have seen some questions as to how much the antenna will flex and if it hits the side of the jeep and I can testify that I have had the 2015 Rubi up to and over 100 mph (not recommended but I had to try out the new Gibson dual cat back exhaust pipes on the interstate) and still not enough flex in the antenna to touch the body of the jeep. I promise you will not have any issues with this antenna as long as you get both ends tight!! Yep, fits perfect! I got it on mine now.

The mounting plate/base isn't wide enough to accommodate 2" U-bolts. The stock u-bolts that come with the antenna will take up to 1.5 inch pipe. It would be easy to drill up and add a wider base plate if you need to use larger mounting u-bolts. Probably easier to use a stub piece of pipe that will nest in your larger pipe as a reducer and use the existing mount and u-bolts. That's what I've done.

It will fit on a standard antenna with the little ball on the top. It is a very hard foam so you might be able to enlarge the hole, but it will not fit on the newer antenna's that are really short and are mounted on the top of the car.

I don't know what is recommended but I use wilson antennas on all my cb's I have used a lot of different brands and have found the wilson's to be consistantly good. I have several different models I use depending on the car or truck or jeep. I use the 500 (lil wil) on the trucks, 1000 on the car and flex on the jeeps and buggies. I have used K40's and all 3 have lost connection inside the base ( had to cut them apart, sodier them and epoxy them back together. Most of the name brands are good and a good rule of thumb is the longer the better. and don't forget to set the swr's, (just my opinion I could be wrong)

There are plenty of short telescoping whip antennas on the afternarket if you are bold enough to pop the radio open, uncrew it and solder a new one in after using your with to MAKE it fit. BGMicro.com, Goldmin-elec.com frequenlty list such for these adventurers. MOUSER electronics too. Rots ruck!

Koolertron TPMS comes with 2.5 g antenna out of box. And best place to fix is on windshield with double sided tape. Thanks

It has a regular with the short whip is only for the picture. I put one of these antennas on a Dodge pick up on the fender it works outstanding your trunk lid would be a great place for it

I'd go for the trunk lip mount, that's what I did. There's also a magnetic mount. The best spot to mount an antenna, especially a CB is going to be on the top of the vehicle with the biggest whip you can get. Mine is a 60 inch whip so it sticks well above the roof of the car. Some folks get those firesticks and mount them in the bed of their truck and from what I've been told they barely radiate a signal forward. I just installed and and I have found CB to be mostly useless in the city anyway, and when I have needed it on the highway it does fine. My VHF/UHF antenna is TLP/NMO mount off to the side. My cb is in the center of the trunk. I don't have problems. Hope this helps.

Traxxas trucks have the antenna that sticks out.other brands may or may not.
