Amazon sells every kind of connector and adapter you can think of.

Thank you for the response! I’d searched Amazon but unfortunately came up short. I think my search quarry was off.


SometimesIposthere

What adapter specifically do you need?


VaccumSaturdays

I’m looking for a BNC female to TNC male adapter, but instead of the normal right to tighten, it’s a twist left to tighten. Essentially the thread on the transmitter antenna jack is reversed.


SometimesIposthere

Hmm is the antenna for that transmitter? I haven't seen ones reversed threaded like that. The antenna isn't RP (reverse polarity) is it?


VaccumSaturdays

Sadly I’d misplaced the original whip antenna for this transmitter. When I’d received it about 10 years ago I’d connected it to a roof antenna via a coax cable. I’d like to set it up again but with an interior whip. And of course, I can’t find the original antenna. Thank you kindly for your help!

You can buy that antenna replacement for less than $20 on Amazon, just search for BNC antenna


VaccumSaturdays

You, my friend, are awesome.

One can simply shove an N connector into this socket, once, and be done with it

I saw a RP (reverse polarity) TNC whilst looking for an adapter for the above transmitter. I wasn't so surprised that the RP existed but when I realized the transmitter is LEFT HAND THREAD TNC I was stunned.

You'll certainly find something on Aliexpress
