Sorry about the shopping list, but I also have this radio, so I just wanted to explain my setup.
First I removed the original antenna and added this SMA to BNC adapter.
Now with it being BNC I can switch between my stubby, my big whip, and magmout (with an adapter.)
In my mind, I am happy I am not constantly spinning the SMA connector. If the BNC starts getting flakey I can replace it.
Edit: Here's a picture of it with the orange antenna on it.
