Coax connector extension availability ????

[FlyBoy50]

I got to wondering the other day ( Smoke Rolling ) if anybody has a connector that you could screw on to the back of a Anytone Q6 Pro coax connector to extend that connector out past the heat sink to make the antenna coax connector easier to install ( Female to Male ). I never remember the #s of that connector ( too lazy ). Such a connector would make it easier for frequent coax changes ???

Get male and female UC1 and make a pigtail as long as you need.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm also looking at a double male & double female combination but would have to look at SWR changes.

The things like that, would be the push on connector, or a lightning arrester.

If everything is done right with the antenna installation there shouldn't be any change to SWR, especially with such a small extension. As a general rule in a base station setup, if changing the length of any coax changes the SWR significantly, then there are other problems with the antenna or coax. SWR should NOT change when coax length changes.

If you are connecting and disconnecting coax frequently I have used these on my bench in the past.

Thanks ! I guess great minds think alike because I checked my connector and found enough to do both of my Q6s and I'll make them permanent after cleaning and silicon grease. And I'll never cuss that connection again.

That's another great idea for temporary bench type set ups. Where is a good place to get them? I think they ( 3 ea ) would be a great addition to my bench.

$45 bucks is ridiculous for 3 adapters......

You are probably better off going the coax adapter at that cost.

I bought them on eBay for $3.99 each, $7.99 shipping. I bought 10 to balance cost vs shipping. They are still available, just not as cheap.
