I use a GE HELP and a MIDLAND 75-822 with a LIL WIL antenna and they both work fine! The old GE HELP RADIO Model 3-5900 is the better model of the HELP RADIOS IMO, better than the Midland!! I had to make a new antenna wire for the GE to get a good match with the LIL WIL and it needed to be nine feet long made from the same type wire that is on the telescoping antenna that comes with the radio I got the wire at radio shack and it had the right connecter that plugs into the radio on it I think it was a speaker extension cable the other end will need to be solderd to a coax connecter. (A little improvising will be needed here!)

[QUOTE="scout943, post: 119962, member: 183"] I use a GE HELP and a MIDLAND 75-822 with a LIL WIL antenna and they both work fine! The old GE HELP RADIO Model 3-5900 is the better model of the HELP RADIOS IMO, better than the Midland!! I had to make a new antenna wire for the GE to get a good match with the LIL WIL and it needed to be nine feet long made from the same type wire that is on the telescoping antenna that comes with the radio I got the wire at radio shack and it had the right connecter that plugs into the radio on it I think it was a speaker extension cable the other end will need to be solderd to a coax connecter.
