Is there a stub left over from where it broke? those little universal antenna usually have a sort of collar attachment that go over the busted antenna, and are secured with a set screw.

Walmart sells stubby masts like that one for I think 8 dollars lmao. I had one on my car, but since I don't even have anything left of the antenna I kinda just shoved it into the hole and forced it to fit. Guess I should've put something in it to make it hold more secure but I didn't really care at the time. I don't really ever use the radio.

That's the one I got. It's dirt cheap and does the job. It has the pieces needed to mount it to the stub left over of your old antenna.

What m4xwellmurd3r linked is perfect for what you need, no cutting, just use the adapter you need to fit your stubby to that universal base. 94
