Sounds like you got the larger version made for the RU/GF series of radios,
Wayne - easy to do if you're not familiar with the nomenclature as they appear
quite similar. It was only finding them at very cheap prices that made me
investigate further and discover the difference. Well, obtaining a couple
RU-16s with the adapters didn't hurt either. Nothing like having one in your
hands for comparison.
