Bill, You wish everything is related to sailing (don't you?). 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 applicati

I'm late to this party but yes, the Icom radios use SMA plugs. You need an adaptor like this: http://www.amazon.com/SMA-PL-259-Adapter-Cable/dp/B004280GQ4 On 25 June 2013 11:02, Bill Bina wrote: > Yeah, I think what he needs is either SMA female to PL259 female which > he can google as part n
