Had they included one, you couldn't have used it anyway... most BNC male 
connectors are for RG-58 type coax, not the larger RG-X. And the BNC's made 
for RG-59, although they will slip over the outer insulation of RG-8X, will 
not accept the diameter of the center conductor...!

For RG-8X type coax, I get my BNCs from Gaylen Pearson 
<WB0W@attglobal.net>, actually from his XYL (Jean, who handles the 
connector side of the business). I think they're about $1.50 each, maybe a 
bit less, NOT including shipping.

Drop Galyen a note and ask for pricing. They're good folks to deal with, 
and generally quite responsive... though Christmas may slow things down a bit.

73, and Season's Greetings..!
