Hey, I don't know if portable radios count, but I just got a vintage General Electric MPR portable radio and it's missing the antenna and belt clip. Anyone know where I can find those?
Do you know what type of antenna connection is on the Radio, If not post a pic with the frequency range of the transmitter and I'll try and point you in the right directionHey, I don't know if portable radios count, but I just got a vintage General Electric MPR portable radio and it's missing the antenna and belt clip.

Excellent! That solves the belt clip problem!Hi,
The MPR uses a stud sticking out the top of the housing. It isn't the same as what GE used prior to or after. I haven't seen any new ones for decades.
It does have the mount riveted on the back which takes the same belt clip or swivel stud as many of the later GE/Ericsson radios such as MPA, MRK, LPE, etc. Those are available from many of the 2 way battery suppliers.
I checked my Shelves of Obsolete Electronics and I have a few old GE radios but no MPR or MPX with an antenna still on one. And, none in the boxes of just portable antennas.
