Anyone know of a source other than 'M' for
a SMA-F to BNC-F with threads on the SMA end long enough for the Jedi radios ?
(Have a RFB-1142 but the SMA threads are too
short to contact the Jedi center pin).
Thanks !

I got one from Associated Radio http://www.associatedradio.com in Olathe, Kansas. They are expensive (like $6) or so.
You might try digikey or mouser

You need to file down the threads to level with the dielectric on the connector so the base looks like the bottom of an antenna. I have had no problems doing this. Even the adapter Motorola sells have this problem (Motorola sells the Amphenol adapter).
