I have an ICOM handheld for backup.
I have a panel-mounted ICOM connector, ICOM part no. ANTSB. The ANTSB is a splitter, in series with the coax that connects the COM-1 radio to its antenna. On the front of the ANTSB is a 3.5 mm female jack. When a 3.5 mm male is plugged into this jack, the installed COM-1 is disconnected from the antenna, and the 3.5 mm jack is now connected to the antenna. This requires a coax (50-ohm impedance) with a 3.5 mm male jack on one end and a BNC connector on the other end. The BNC connects to the ICOM and the 3.5 mm plugs into the panel-mount ANTSB; the ICOM is now using the external COM antenna. ICOM sells the ANTSB box with the four-foot coax as a kit. Phone call to ICOM reveals that they do NOT sell the coax jumper separately, as a replacement part. I have tried everything I could think of -- avionics shops, Radio Shack, Wentworth (used avionics), etc., all with no joy. Does anyone know where I can find a four-foot 50-ohm coax (I believe it's R17x/U, where x is either 4 or 9, I can't remember) with a BNC on one end and a 3.5 mm mail on the other end? |
