It has an SMA connector for use with an HT though and would need a Female SMA to SO-259 or PL-259 adapter depending on how/where you make the final connection to the radio (at the radio PL259 - via an intermediate coax SO-259).  I presently don't have the adapter.  The simple J-pole antenna that I saw offered or a full size mobile antenna might be the better options.

>>    Hope you all are enjoying the great weather. Next Thursday, I am setting up a temporary station at my high school for their annual "STEAM night" which is all about science and technology. My plan is to hang up a 40 meter dipole and bring a FT-897, FT-100DR, and a few HT's. As for the 2m unit, I would like to use a mobile antenna vs my 8ft vertical. I would like to know if anyone would allow me to borrow a 2 meter mobile antenna just so I can stick it out a window for local rx. Any help would be appreciated. Secondly, just in case 40 meters is dead during the event, I would use the vhf/ uhf radios as backup. I know I'm asking a lot but if anyone could be my "backup" to talk to kids for a minute QSO each or so would be terrific. I would like for best results a couple of people within 5 or so of Collingswood( FM29LV). Thank you so much for your help.
