[Elecraft] Additional Adapter Issues

[Patrick Lynch]

I am looking for an adapter that would allow me connect my hand held
transceiver to a PL-259 connector.  What I am trying to do is hook my hand
held to an outside antenna.  I am currently in Iraq and sleep at night in
what is known as a "CHU" (Containerized Housing Unit) which is basically a
metal box that is covered in sandbags.  There are also what is known as
Hesco Barriers surrounding the immediate area to protect you from indirect
fire attack.  None of these structures make for good antenna reception.  I
would like to receive radio calls from my staff in case issues comer up at
night.  I hope to place a base station type antenna on the roof giving me
some line of sight to the HQ.  I am not sure all of the connectors on
commercial Icom handhelds are standard.  Anyone have any ideas?
