I have been trying to find a male stereo 3.5mm connector that has threads on it. I have an audio adapter for my XTS2500 radio that has a 3.5mm threaded connector on it. The earpiece I have for it has a connector issue, and the wire is really way too long for my needs, so I want to replace that connector. It has been surprisingly hard to find one though. Anyone know of a source?
It looks like this:

I want to say Tesco? I recall having looked for the same connector years ago for my Visar. I believe thats where I found it.

That is a very nice connector, BUT the Motorola type has a male tread on the plug.
