Hi All,
What's the difference, if any, between an MX and MXI connector?
I received an Icom F3161 for Christmas and I'm trying to buy a better antenna for it, and the antennas that seem to be compatible seem to have an "MXI" connector, but the selection is pretty limited. There seem to be far more selection for antennas with an "MX" connector.
According to this selection guide from Laird, they appear to be different: http://www.streakwave.com/mmSWAVE1/Video/Land.pdf
But both connectors seem to describe themselves as "1/4-32 x 7/32" when I look at the descriptions on Tessco:
https://www.tessco.com/products/displayProductInfo.do?sku=427755
https://www.tessco.com/products/displayProductInfo.do?sku=492322
And I can't seem to find the right terms to get an answer out of Google.
Any ideas? Thanks.
