MPD Digital rg-58-sma-uhff SMA Male to UHF Female cable
- Allows Base & Mobile Antennas to Connect to Handheld Antenna Jack.
- Approx. 3ft Cable with SO-239 on one end, & SMA male on other.
- High Quality RG-58.
- Fits most Yaesu, Icom, Alinco, Kenwood & TYT Amateur Radios.
- Keeps Strain & weight off & away from HT’s Antenna jack.
This Cable accepts a PL-259 from Base/Mobile antennas, & adapts it to the Female “SMA” style jack found on most Amateur Radio hand-held. It will not fit some of the models that require a female sma interface. To see if it fits your hand talk radio just unscrew the antenna and make sure it has a connector on the bottom of the antenna with a pin inside. Your adapter cable will screw into your radio and allow you into hook up to a standard Ham antenna lead.
