Darrell!!
Your device looks a lot like the one that I had for many years that I carried in my patrol pack. The one I had, had a spike about 8 or 10 inches long that you planted into the ground.
If you could not get comms from your OP then I would find a location close by that comms were good, plant the spike, put a 10 ft whip on it and run coax to the op where the coax would be plugged into the 77set coax connector. Kind of like a mini antennae farm, with the antennae being away from the radio. I am not sure where they originally came from.....
Take Care
Craig!!
