TNC to BNC Adapter
If you have purchased a COM antenna that has coaxial cable and a
BNC connector already installed, you can use a “TNC Male to BNC
Female” adapter to adapt the SV-XPNDR-261/262’s TNC connector
to a BNC connector. We recommend that you purchase an adapter
by a reputable manufacturer of radio frequency connectors and
adapter such as Amphenol. The part pictured at right is an
Amphenol P/N 242149, and is available from Digi-Key as P/N
ACX1378-ND.
