Hi Rob, Some thoughts about your two questions....
1) I got the Baofeng GT-3 and the Nagoya NA-771 (or any of my antennas > fit due to the waterproofing they've done with the antenna connection > point)...how would I shave down the plastic (I'm completely stupid in > this regard)...currently uses my Baofeng UV-5R Plus (which by the way is > a great radio... > A Dremel tool with a grinding disk might be able to shave down the plastic, but I've only looked at pictures. I would need to see the antenna and radio in person. You can also buy a SMA to SMA connector/lengthener, screw it on and then heatshrink everything together. 2) Do you have any suggestions for a connection adapter that works for > sayy connecting Bose headphones to a transceiver (I wouldn't be > transmitting...this is mainly so I can sit and listen to the Metro North > frequency as I ride the train and listen to the frequency that Grand > Central uses (both of which I programmed into my radio) > I think the Baofeng radio speaker/headphone jack is a small 2.5 mm jack similar to my Kenwood HT.

Unrelated, but I would love to conduct a coordinated egional NVIS test on some of the HF frequencies sometime - either on Field Day or in the fall.
