[Boatanchors] 2.5mm to 1/4 Phone Jack Needed

[Walt - WB2VSJ]

Yeah that would be bad.

Here's a mono one I just spotted on ebay:

So they do exist (In UK at least)

I don't like the intermediate adapter method, too easy to break it off if you are not careful. 
I guess I could make a wired adapter if I really need to.
