The SMA is a precision 50 ohm microwave connector which has been used on
some other equipment simply because it is tiny. The F connector is a cheap,
really, really cheap non-constant impedance but close to 75 ohm consumer
grade connector. One would not ever expect to find both used in the same
system.

Having said that, try Auto-Radio on the main shopping street in downtown
Rota, Spain. I believe I saw some F to SMA adapters there a few years ago.
I know they had SMA to UHF, another unexpected combination.

Is it just my imagination, or are direct SMA to "F" (TV Coax) connectors
hard
to find. One usually having to go SMA-BNC-F?
