Yaesu/Vertex coax antenna adaptor

[RM]

regarding the long thread on transceivers...

I still have the BNC antenna adaptor for the stolen unit. If any Vertex
fan would like it enough to stop by and pick it up (can't see as it's
worth packing up and mailing), I'd let it go for five bucks or maybe a
few beers. In Dallas, near ADS.

A three-cent (oops! I mean 37 cent) stamp ought to suffice. Mine
weighs 0.4 ounces in its zip-lock bag.

Well, that's a long trip from the Left Coast, even FOR a relatively inexpensive
adapter.

Would you take a self-addressed stamped box with some of our RST goodies packed
in a $5 bill and mail it to us? How about a base station antenna SortaKit®
wrapped in a bill?

Hopefully, we'll be a Vertex dealer here shortly and I'd like to have one
adapter just to do some testing so that I know what I'm talking about.

I did a search on Google. If I recall correctly, the adapter cost $3
and the s/h $5, and I had it before I flew the next time.

Still think you recalled correctly? I'd be glad to be shown a better
store.

What kind of adapter is it?

Mine was $3.85. Very likely Radio Shack has one.

It's BNC male on one end, SMA female on the other. It fits onto the
Vertex antenna connector and allows a standard BNC cable to be connected
to the unit. $11 + s/h at pilotportal.com

That one is $4.85 in single quantity, but I've seen them cheaper. Ask a ham
to pick you up one at the next hamfest for a couple of bucks.

Would you mind sexing (you should pardon the expression) that connector again?
The sex of an RF connector is determined by the CENTER PIN, and not the shell.
I think you mean BNC female to SMA male.

You are correct. BNC female, SMA male.

No, that is female on both ends.

Like this:

Though if you think the asking price of a few beers is not as good
a deal as getting some theoretical ham buddy to get you one when he
gets around to it, that's fine by me.

Look at the picture closely. It is BNC female on the left and SMA male on the
right by my eyeball, even though I can't see inside the SMA end or the BNC end
with that tiny picture.

Tellya what. Take the adaptor you have. Look at the small SMA end. Is there a
pointed pin in the center or a pin with a hole in it? Look at the large BNC
end. Do the same eyeball. If it has a pointed pin, it is MALE; if it has a
hole in the pin, it is FEMALE.

The "few beers" deal works for ONE person who happens to be close to you.
For everyone else it is more useful to have suppliers who have the item on
an ongoing basis.
