Need SMA to BNC adapter for Spectrum Force mag mount antenna

[t13one12]

In my haste one evening last week I purchased the wrong antenna from Scannermaster. I have a BC780xlt with a BNC connection and I accidentally purchased the spectrum force SMA antenna late at night. I'm now searching for an adapter so I can connect it to my scanner.

The issue I'm having is identifying the male/female components. It looks to me that the 780xlt has a female BNC connector, necessitating a male BNC end on my adapter.

The coax coming from the antenna toward the scanner has a male end, so I should need a female SMA connection.

The challenge I am having is confirming that I indeed need a female SMA to male BNC adapter and if that is the case, finding one to buy. I tried searching previous threads and it seems that everyone else was looking for the opposite?

Am I crazy? Or just missing something?...

All help is greatly appreciated. If you could also provide a vendor/website where I can order the appropriate piece I would be forever indebted.

You will need a SMA female to BNC male adapter here is a photo. Available from many electronics stores (except Radio Shack) or purchase Item #0853 from Universal Radio.
