[Yaesu] FT-60 Antenna?

On the factory antenna that comes with the FT-60, is the SMA connector on
the bottom absolutely flush with the bottom of the antenna rubber, or is it
up inside a few mm like on the FT-50's?

I am having trouble finding good photos of the FT-60 with the antenna
removed.

I did find a few photos of aftermarket antennas and it looks like I can see
the SMA connector nut visible at the bottom of the aftermarket antennas,
which makes me think the antenna that comes with the radio will have a
slight skirting around the bottom.

I have antennas from 130-960 MHz for my FT-50, they were hard enough to come
by, I'd like to be able to use them if possible, but the all have a rubber
"skirt" that hangs below the connector on the antennas side.

Thanks,

Kurt
