DHT Electronics LLC AD075 2 Pieces SMA Female to BNC Female Convert Adapter for Two Way Radio BaoFeng UV-5R FD-880

Best quality/price ratio for this adpator.

I got tired of screwing and unscrewing my radio from a traditional SMA connector. So I switched to a BNC adapter, but it stuck up and I was worried that the extra leverage would crack the radio's built in SMA connector. When I discovered these I became very excited. While shorter than a traditional SMA to BNC adapter, they also have a flange that helps spread side loading of the antenna to the radio's body. They fit perfectly and are working great on my UV-5R, UV-82, and my Anytone HT. With these I can easily switch between a rubber ducky antenna and the antenna's I installed on my car and my bike. This has made my HTs much more usable as a result.

Use these on my Quansheng and Baofeng radios with new BNC antennas.

Well engineered

Perfect adapter for Baofeng UV-82 radio. Sure, the connector is recessed a little bit into the adapter ring, but that's what makes this a perfect fit for the UV-82. It may not fit other radios though, for others you may have to get an adapter where SMA-F side is completely exposed. I've attached a picture of how deep this adapter goes into the UV-82 radio, making a solid and secure contact. Second picture is top view, you can see that it fits perfectly into UV-82's antenna opening. I paired it with a Nagoya NA-701 BNC antenna. I tried NA-771, sure it's better but it's also super long and not practical for daily use. NA-701 on the other hand, provides improved performance over stock antenna while keep the size small and maneuverable.
