And without the rubber, the flex and bending of the antenna gets directly transferred to the sma connector. You'll be wishing you'd had some sort of support before long, as the rig is in the shop with a broken sma connector. Stephens connectors work well, I've had one for years, and think it was one of the smarter accessories I've purchased. (Ft-50) john What are "Stephens connectors" ? Any pics and where to buy ? Thanks, Nick |

Adding any adaptor would seem to significantly move the radiating
portion of the antenna further away from the "ground plane" of the radio. This should affect the operation of the antenna adversely. Comments? Bob In article , (Stephen G. Gulyas) wrote: Do you have a need for a high-quality SMA-to-BNC rubber covered factory look antenna adapter that is custom made to fit and protect your H.T. or scanner radio? Adapter allows you to: Quickly change antennas to base, mobile or different style use. Use the more popular and wider selection available of BNC antennas. Prevent chassis connector wear or from coming loose due to antenna changes. Adapter features: Gold plated contacts with a teflon insulator. A low profile design with a rubber covering for a factory antenna look. |

This should affect the operation of the antenna adversely. Comments? Bob Adding an adapter to a Transmission Line will have no effect, except to add insertion loss of the adapter. Adding an adapter to the antenna itself MAY cause the antenna charactoristics to change. Most SMA and BNC connecters are used in Transmission Lines, and not antennas themselves. The OP doesn't really explain where the adapter is to be used. Most small handheld devices with external antenna connections have those connection in the Transmission Line and not in the antenna itself. Me |
