If you change the base, won't that remove the GPS capability? I can not see any way that they use the antenna itself for GPS, but have that part in the base.

Try searching for a Quick Release fitting, there may also be some BNC adaptors. 3/16BSF is 32TPI, that may help.

Yes, it is "multi-band", just as an antenna on a regular VHF-hand radio is. Most of them are VHF and UHF. It's just it's length that decides which frequencies it works with.
