The advantage of the 203EZ may not be immediately apparent. It was designed to provide an easy solution for dealing with an antenna while not in use, rather than removing the antenna from the base as a quick disconnect would require, the 203EZ will simply fold the antenna down into an easily managed horizontal position.

Please remember, the antenna is not to be used while folded down, always make sure to place your antenna in the vertical upright position before transmitting a signal.
