MX antenna adapter

I know there is an adapter to use a bnc connector device on an HT with the mx style antenna, but is there an adapter that is just the oposite so I can put an MX antenna on an analyzer to see what frequency it is cut for? I have looked and can not find anything. If a part is not made, what can I make to connect an antenna to test equipment.
Thanks
Steve

I was just thinking about this the other day. I think the best way is to use a gutted MX radio chassis and coax cable.
That way you replicate all the characteristics of the antenna actually working on the radio chassis itself.

If the mx style is an SMA connecter, they do make male SMA to female BNC and female SMA to female BNC adapters. We used them all the time repairing the R2000 series analyzers. Sorry, I don't remember the part numbers & don't know who manufactured them.

MX-series is threaded stud, same as analog Sabers.
