Comet
Comet SMA-24 (SMA-Male)
The premium choice for SMA-Male radios. You pay for Comet's build quality more than for a big performance jump, but it is the whip that will not let you down.

Overview
The Comet SMA-24 is the SMA-Male version of Comet's premium superflex dual-band whip, built for radios with an SMA-Male antenna jack. It gives Yaesu, Kenwood, and TYT owners a high-quality alternative to the Nagoya whips.
Like the SMA-24J, it is a 17.7-inch superflex element with strong 70cm performance and build quality well above the cheap clones. Confirm your radio uses an SMA-Male jack before buying.
