This adapter is the key to unlocking the full potential of your Yaesu, Icom, or Retevis RT85 handheld. It solves the problem of how to connect your radio to a high-performance external antenna.
Designed specifically for radios with an SMA-Female antenna port (a port with a center hole), this adapter provides a secure SMA-Male (Center Pin) connection that converts your radio to a standard SO-239 socket. This allows you to plug in any standard PL-259 coaxial cable from a mag mount, base station, or mobile antenna.
