Chris,

If it's exactly what you're looking for, I have a hand full of these
things. It's a Sage 1021H adapter and has a front end that looks like a
UG 21 and a BNC on the rear. The BNC unscrews and you install the 1N21
like a .22 round , and screw it back together. It's not a tiny assembly
and measures 62mm in length (just shy of 2.5 inches).

I found it listed on line at A-Comm Electronics and they say it's good
to 12.4 kmc.

If it's something you really could use, I could send you a couple at a
fair price.

But I'm surprised that anyone nowdays would be using a full sized type
N connector for anything other than moderate powered transmitting.


I had to do some research to find out that a UG 21 is just and N
connector. I'm not sure why you are surprised people are using them.
The are about the same size connector as a UHF which is very common in
ham radio, and the N is a much better connector. I put N connectors on
all of my antennas, especially if they are going to be out side. But
yes I would be interested in one of those Sage 1021H adapters. I have a
few extra 1N21 diodes if you want to make a trade or I can just send
money. Do you take paypal? Let me know what you want for them.
