I have one brand new MFJ-1717 for sale, it was ordered a few days ago but decided to order another type of antenna before I even received this one. This antenna is new and still in the package. The antenna has a SMA Female connector. You're saving the tax and the shipping cost and a little bit on the retail price. The MFJ-1717 is the Most Popular Handheld Duck Antenna High gain dual band 144/440 MHz Flexible Duck antenna. 15 3⁄4" long, its 15 1⁄2 wave on 440 MHz that gives a hearty 2.15 dBi gain. On 2 Meters you get an efficient full size 1⁄4 wave precisely factory tune for low SWR. High-Q, low loss construction. - SMA Female Connector
