A picture would he helpful, antenna's are color coded but there are variations in different product lines and some colors are used more than once.

Re: Portable antenna id.
And why put up a thread reference when the thread appears right above your post? I don't get it.

Re: Portable antenna id.
The cut and paste was out of date ... that's the problem when stuff is copied from a source rather than just posting a reference. The source updates and the copies don't.
The Interweb would be smaller and less full of out-of-date stuff if everyone got with that program.
I added some material to the original list (Moto website URL for part numbers and added a new 800/900 MHz stubby). I found this repeat post and rather than have to come back here each time I update the original post, I added the thread reference to make it easier for others that come looking for the same info in the future.
