Antenna ready for operation on top of my RD-5R DMR HT from Radioddity/Baofeng.
Distance from central coax connection point to end of connector at radio with adapter 100 mm (10cm). Why this length - I don’t know but it seems a reasonable distance so that the metal in the HT doesn’t affect the loop perhaps?

PS I use the HT with a speaker-Mic so I am far enough away from the antenna.
