BNC for LMR-300

[LIScanner101]

I have an NMO mount on the roof of my truck. Running down into the cab is LMR-300 terminated in a TNC.

I want to change the crimped-on TNC to a BNC. I have the crimpers.

Problem is I'm having a little trouble finding a BNC that can be crimped onto LMR-300. Pasternack has them (actually, they have EVERYTHING) but I don't feel like paying $26 for one connector...!

Any sources?

Scratch that last reply if you already saw it.

Times only makes LMR-300 connectors in N, TNC and SMA form. I believe Amphenol makes a BNC crimp, but it's not cheap.

Or you can buy this piece of junk from China.

Or, use LMR-240 instead.

Most Amphenol connectors are made in China. I've used similar connectors to these from Ebay sellers in China and the quality is really good. Only problem is it can take awhile to arrive.

Thanks all.

Interesting. A huge price difference and the more expensive one may be from China anyway.

I had a discussion with a vendor about Pan Pacific connectors and adapters, which are very high quality and very inexpensive. I was told the owner of Pan Pacific is a brother to the person that owns or runs the factory in China that produces connectors for Amphenol.
