If you buy a $6000.00 APEX8000 you do not get an adapter either.

When you get the adapters make sure you check them for “Proper fit”. I have a couple of these that their thread depth was insufficient, so when they were screwed down properly there was still a gap between the adapter and the top of my scanners (396T, 396XT, HP-1, & 436).

This will not allow the strain of your antenna/coax to be distributed to the top of the radio but instead all the strain will be on your SMA connector, which in my opinion is not good.

If you can please let us know how well they fit your SMA connector and radio.

+1 on the proper fit - for the exact reason mentioned.
