How to add a BNC connector

[lest69]

I recently bought an old PRO-2023. The only antenna connector is a single banana jack. I have seen that there are BNC to banana adapters, but they have two banana plugs (I'm assuming signal and ground). I would like to add a BNC jack to the back of the scanner, but I'm not sure what would be involved in doing so. Would I just connect one terminal of the BNC to the banana jack internally, and the other BNC terminal to ground? Or is there more to it? Is it even possible?
Thanks

Depending on whether the antenna input is balanced or unbalanced and, if it's unbalanced, whether it's anywhere near 50 or 70 ohms, you could just drill a hole near the existing antenna connector, mount a single-hole BNC hack in the hole and wire the terminal to the antenna connector on the receiver.

I dont think your radio has a banana conector as you stated. Unless it has been modified. It should be a motorola connector. Check out on Radio Shack
