Not 'reverse SMA' like WiFi, just opposite - male on the radio, female 
on the antenna.  Apparently some Motorolas are the same way.

I'm really happy with the PX-777 so far.  I haven't gone through all of 
the features, but it compares favorably with the VX-150.  The audio 
output is good, and I'd read some reviews that said the mic wasn't 
great, but it sounds good to me.

I need to do some battery life tests.  The standard 1200 mAh battery is 
about the same size as the VX-150's 700 mAh battery and weighs a lot less.

And this, by the way, is why you haven't seen the PX-777 marketed as 
such in the US:

They've got an exclusive distribution agreement, and they're sold under 
the Infinity brand for about $230.
