DHT Electronics 2pcs RF Coaxial Coax Adapter: SMA Male to BNC Male Connector - Improved Signal Quality and Versatile Compatibility Review

When I first started amateur radio, like many others, I took Baofeng. I've used it in my car with a magnetic antenna with a BNC adapter, but to make it less of a nuisance on foot I attached a whip antenna to it for quick detaching from the car and connecting to the BNC radio. In practice, this isn't the prettiest solution, but it works well. I have now added a mobile phone to the car and simply attached the antenna directly to the Baofeng.

I use this along with a BNC adapter on my radio to allow for quick antenna changes so all my antennas can be used on all my radios. I always convert my radios to BNC.

They fit very loosely on the BNC side. They just flutter around on the Alinco DJ-580. Twist lock is very weak. Although the radio's locking pins may be worn, any of the standard Alinco and Diamond BNC antennas still snap securely into the radio. However, using any length SMA antenna with these adapters will result in a very loose fit with little locking. I could probably shake the radio so hard that the adapter would just fall off. I don't have much money for it, but it's a pity that good/great

One of the 2 pieces is defective - the small section of the channel was too small, so the BNC plug fitted, but is not blocked. So I'm sending them back and ordering a new set. I hope to get 2 good/useful ones from this purchase/return/reorder. I'm sure they make 10 batches out of 1000 and maybe I just got a bad one.

I got an extra antenna with a police scanner but it didn't fit. This part allows me to use a different antenna with the scanner. The quality is good, it works as it should.

This little part seems to work well with my Ailunce Ham Radio handheld radio. This simplifies changing antennas. As far as I know the threads on the screw are only enough for so many uses. Using it saves threads and the need to replace them. Fast and easy to use. No problem. Didn't notice any performance degradation. Recommended. Note. This small element extends the length of your antenna. At first I didn't like the way he looked, but I was starting to get used to it. See image.

They fit very loosely on the BNC side. They just hang out on the Alinco DJ-580. Twist lock is very weak. Although the radio's locking pins may be worn, any of the standard Alinco and Diamond BNC antennas still snap securely into the radio.

Purchased to adapt my Nagoya antennas to easily detach from my Baofeng radio. So far it's working as advertised and I can't see any loss of signal. Make the antenna a little higher and you lose the partial gasket that comes from the factory or Nagoya if they were bolted directly to the radio. I can live with that as I can easily change the antenna. I will be buying more than spares but after a few months of use I don't see them failing anytime soon. unless someone develops a more compact…
