The SMA connector is not very strong compared to the BNC. The short cable adapter you have is likely a better idea.

We made up a 2 foot section of co-ax with a SMA connect on 1 end and a female 259 connector on the other end. Problem solved and the total costs was less than USD 15.00. I do have to wonder why no one (that I could locate) makes a simple one piece connector for these hand held radios so that you can use the HH as an emergency back up. Strange..

Yes, I am a long time licensed electronic tech. If you expect the majority of people including Radio Technicians to understand what you want, you call it a Bayonet Naval Connector or Threaded Naval Connector. Now that you have googled BNC to find a wikipedia entry, try googling Navy Connector, and see what you find. A large number of electronic techs came from the U.S. Navy electronics division, and the Navy manuals are used in many civilian electronics schools. So there is a very strong "naval" connection to electronics, and especially radios. :-) Bill Bina PS. Backronym?

The BNC stands for Bayonet Neill–Concelman connector after two guys who invented it (from Bell Labs and Amphenol). The “naval connector” (British or Bayonet) is a backronym. The BNC connectors are widely used outside of marine applications and their use on boats (sail or otherwise) is secondary.
