Default Digital Antenna

I just bought a digital 529 VHF antenna. My question is; isn't the antenna supposed to come with the adaptor that connects to the mini connector so that it can be plugged into the radio? Mine only came with the attached mini connector. If it is not what is the part number of the right adaptor. I'm trying to get information from digital but they don't seem to have very good customer service.

Mine came with everything I needed to hook it up directly to the VHF radio. I just got mine about 2-3 weeks ago from SWFL Navigation here on the forum. May want to first try contacting whoever you purchased the antenna from.

The connector was in a small bag down inside the tube. I had to look for it.

The adapter usually is wrapped up in the foam at the bottom of the tube. It can easily get thrown away with the tube and packaging. I would first search through that foam, then I would call Digital at 954-747-7022. They send you one right out no questions asked. They are probably used to it!

The reason you have to add it back to the cable is on most mounts where the wire has a route through the mount it's only large enough to pass through with out the largers end !!!
