With the BCD325P2 where there is plenty of room, they could have used an SMA. But that radio’s case is probably the same case design as other pervious radios that sported BNC connectors? So they used an existing case which just happened to already be designed for BNC?

Exactly.

In the interest of keeping the use of adapters at a minimum, ideally, a single adapter that is merely an extension of the SMA connection would be the answer. Too bad they don’t exist, at least I haven’t found one. Using a dremel too isn't the way to remove or lower the ridge. It’s a power tool and if not careful, will generate enough heat to melt or deform the plastic ridge and possibly the case. I’m playing with the idea of using a hand file while the radio is secured in place. Many slow strokes with a rasp file should make for a clean job.

That's a great idea, n1chu. I know just the file that would be good on that, I have a flex rattail rasp file that I use to work down the depth of the string slot at the nut of the guitar neck. It's tapered so you can adjust your friction. The nut material I prefer is fossilized walrus tusk. I have them on a few guitars and this little file is easy to use and surgical precise. Going to give this a shot this afternoon and see what happens.

I wish you luck. Pics would be nice when you finish.

Haven't heard back from you, did it not go well?
