If you're talking about the connector on the end of the antenna coax, the end at the radio is called a motorola plug. Radio shack has them, but you may need to get a crimper for it. If your going to rig it for a couple of days only, you could probably just use pliers of some kind. Pay attention to how strip out the center conductor, this is very important!!!

No, no damage done by not having an antenna hooked up.
