TJ: you're on the right track

I'm looking for the particular type of antenna.

It's noted on the web site where I found it as:

Adjective Smallest ___ Antenna

See if that helps any...

Not for a phone 2odd. It's definitely a radio antenna.

Congrats 2oddsox!

[DrDoc]

Yep, it's a connector type... most commonly used for cell phones.

[trillianjedi]

which is a cell phone antenna

No, this ones for amateur radio (144mhz and 440mhz).

[DrDoc]

...and, commonly referred to as rubber-duck antennas.

[trillianjedi]

Right, I'm off to watch the football.

An hour and a half gizmo quiz - good one Lisa!

[quebrada]

Did someone guess quarter yet?:}

[bunltd]

Aaacckk! Dilemma, what do I do now?

DrDoc: you called it a radio antenna first.

I was looking for: SMA Antenna - but didn't know that it had so many other interchangeable names{!}, I chose it because it was small and tiny...

2odd: you found it and named it specifically...

So now what?

LisaB

[DrDoc]

There's no question about it... Give it to 2oddsox. That was the most specific and detailed answer :)

Good gizmo!

[trillianjedi]

I agree with Doc - 2Odd nailed it with the page.

[2oddSox]

No probs... the missus just told me we are going out next week, so if DrDoc wants to run with it, that's ok by me - but if he can't then I can still do it.
