Diamond Antenna Question
 

I have a Diamond X510 dual band antenna (2/70), which has an SO239 socket
for termination. Has anyone changed this to an 'N' Type before? Say by
using an N type chassis mount? I don't want to rip the antenna down and
apart before I know whether it's been done and if it's a huge task or not.

I have some LDF450 to replace the lossy RG213, the cable already has N type
termination, so rather than fork out for a LDF PL259 type connector (Aus
$70.00) I'd prefer to change the antenna connection.

Any advice gents?

I have looked for an PL259 to N connector, none appear available. Yet
plenty the other way around (always the way)

Thanks in advance
