I also came across this gem if you're the daring type:

For Robby:
Here is the link to my telescopic antenna, I found the old card that
came with it.
https://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103159&filterName=Brand&filterValue=RadioShack
Obviously, try not to buy it from Radio Shack if you can help it.
I probably won't buy it -- I like the one i have :)
Also, if you were interested, the link for the SDR receiver you saw me
using is below.
http://www.nooelec.com/store/sdr/sdr-receivers/tv28tv2-sdr-dvb-t-usb-stick-set.html#.U4Ww8PldV1a
It's made by the same company that makes the Ham It Up Upconverter
that goes with the HackRF everybody is talking about.
I couldn't recall at the time, but the frequency range is 25MHZ to
1750MHZ. There is also an excellent array of software out there for
it. It is just one of the many r820t tuners that have flooded the
market.
Thanks! I'll look into it at some point...right now trying to figure
out what i wanna do next...

This is sent to both Josh and the list (to kill two birds with one
stone).
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...
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)
3) Josh this one is for you...do you know if you could keep your
ears to the ground and let me know of any ARES events that could
make use of some hams up in the Orange or Dutchess County area of
NY? Â I contacted the section manager but have yet to get a reply
from him..I'd love to help out with the stuff in the city but to
make it I'd have to camp out in the city overnight as I love
pretty far (Brooklyn is AT LEAST 2-3hrs away...Queens even more!)
PS Also of note: I managed to hit the repeater on top of Mount
Beacon -- KC2DAA and (I'm not sure if I got heard but had a lovely
QSO with some people...I was about as awkward as I am in real
life...but whatever. Up where I live I'm likely to get retired
people...not anybody close to my age...Still I was able to hear
the repeater which is 10.4 miles away[1]...
Thanks!
