BNC type antenna to the SMA antenna jack

[SoCalSearch]

Does anyone make any type of high-end, machined connectors?

Looking for the highest quality available to fit on a Yaesu FT3D

Any guidance would be appreciated

Thank you

I'm not familiar with your particular radio, but Amphenol brand has a good reputation. Available at Mouser ( with specs).

In use as a mobile? desktop? or do you want to adapt for a bnc-style antenna?

These will work - plenty of others available online I'm sure.

If you were going to use the radio in a portable or desktop setting, I would have suggested an SMA(M) to BNC(F) coax short length whip.

Good luck!

They'll have good stuff, not Chinese junk. But since you said "highest quality", you know it won't be cheap.

Personally, I'd find something a bit less expensive.

I'm using a Diamond BNCJ-SMAP adapter, with a Diamond RH-77ca antenna,
on my Icom ic-t70a.
Seems pretty solid, noticeable improvement on 440 MHz.
