    It actually could be neither. There is a brand/range of antennas with removable bases that often have this problem.
    "People" or "salespeople" are unaware of and sometimes mix and match the base with the antenna.
    In some cases the connector inside is not physically long enough to reach the socket in the antenna.
    Personally I wont use them unless customer specifies them.

    Usually when you fit the cheaper model base with the more expensive "pro" antenna
