Hi,
Just got my new HT1550xls,
I'm trying to figure out if i have the correct antenna on my radio, what I WANT is a vhf stubby (tapered- cone type) in the vhf public safety range (150's--160`s)
The antenna I currently HAVE is the described type, marked as "VHF" on the side, and the connector on the base has NO coloring (steel)
I'm VERY confused as to exactly WHERE i'm supposed to be looking for a color code on the antenna base?
Am I destroying my new radio if I'm not using the correct antenna for these frequencies???
Any help appreciated,
Thanx.
HT/PRO vhf stubby identification...

- What radios do you own?: HT1550's, X9000's, CDM1550's
the vhf stubby on my ht1550 actually says motorola and vhf right on the side of it. i thought the color scheme was only for the ht1000 type. but the color around the base of mine is just brown, there is nothing painted on the bottom of the threaded part.
