BNC-Male to SMA-Female Antenna Adapter (for Scanners & HTs)

Description
This high-quality adapter lets you use modern, high-gain SMA antennas on your scanner or older handheld radio. It connects any device with a BNC-Female port to an antenna that uses an SMA-Male plug.
This is the perfect way to upgrade the antenna on your Uniden scanner or older Icom HT to a modern, high-performance antenna (like a Signal Stick or Yaesu antenna) that has an SMA-Male (pin) connector.
💡 Please Note: Sold as a Single Adapter
