Is your coax TV/video coax? If so, be careful with that because the impedance is likely 75ohm and your HT very likely expects 50ohm. How big of a problem that is is up to you to research/decide.

If you don’t have appropriate coax some things you could try: * Adding a tiger tail to the existing antenna (assuming you could reassemble it) * getting higher up * If you can’t reassemble the OG antenna, use the connector and solder the dipole radiators to it directly

Plug the antenna into a tinyvna?
