See this web page. http://www.edmo.com/index.php?module=products&func=display&prod_id=19280&cat_id This has been mentioned previously on the list. Check with a local avionics shop to purchase or GOOGLE IC-ANT-SB for a catalog seller. OC -- The best investment we will ever make is in gathering knowledge. Time: 07:17:51 AM PST US From: "Robert L.

The least expensive and most reliable means by which you can share the airplane's external antenna with a hand held is to route the COMM antenna cable through the cockpit such that a pair of connectors . . . http://www.aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Connectors/crimpcf.jpg http://www.aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Connectors/s605cm.jpg come together within easy reach of the pilot. Coil up some excess length on the ANTENNA SIDE pigtail and make sure this piece of coax has the cable male connector on it. If the panel mounted radio becomes unavailable to you, open this joint and bring the antenna pigtail up to the hand held. You'll also find it useful to use TWO right angle adapters . . . http://tinyurl.com/2u3qzy . . . on the end of this pigtail. The coax can now pass up the back side of your hand held and make a 180-degree u-turn to mate with the radio's BNC connector at the top.
