Why not? It was my understanding that a portable radio worked best when it
was possible for the radio to be plugged in to the aircrafts antennas,
rather than trying to use the antenna that comes with the handheld.

Why would an avionics professional balk at enhancing the performance of a
backup device such as a handheld?
