Im just not sure if these ones are suitable for ameteur radio. Does anyone use these models?
Yep, I have an X-50 antenna on the roof of my house for amateur 2m/70cm and I'm very happy with it

Damn, Ive rung Hamshack, Andrews, Towers Communications, none of em stock the x50a. Andrews stocks the x50m/n but differnt conenction.

Does anyone know any other stores?

Prestige Communications in Malaga. If they don't stock it maybe they'll order it in for you.

N connector is a bad thing?

Adaptors for N-type to BNC are readily available from places like Altronics. N-type to PL-259 adaptors are available from the WA CB Centre.

See: www.andrewscom.com.au

Cheers, CC
