What is that NMO-mount connector?

[C2]

The one that usually comes on the coax end for the radio when you buy an NMO style mount and cable. It is about 3/16 threaded with a small center female. I just wanted to get an adapter--whatever male-to-UHF male, like all the radios have :?

I just dont feel like cutting it off and soldering now.

If you are using Larsen antennas, they use the FME connector:

FME Male to UHF Male

You can buy this connector form HRO

They are also called a mini-UHF connector.

Yea, that's right FME.

Are you sure it is the same as mini-uhf? This adapter seems to imply there is a difference:

The center pin in the MUHF just looks too big.

Same thing at the Amphenol site. Anyway, nobody else around has these adapters so I guess I'm just gonna have to cut it off. I'm ready to tune my antenna and get it mounted.

Never mind. Eyeballs not working too well tonight.Brain either. They are in fact NOT the same as mini-UHF. I should have known better.I was holding exactly what you want in my hand when I posted. No you cannot have it I need it for my 2m antenna. LOL.I know some mail order houses have them but I suppose you do not want to wait?

 

[C2]

I just could not wait. That is the only one of those type of connectors I had anyway, so it will be transformed into an adapter for the inevitable other scenario.

BTW, I'm happy with the tuning.
