Keith:  At RS you can get a short length of RG58 with BNC connectors  
on both ends.  Then you can do one of two things.

a) get a BNC-female/PL-259 adapter (278-121) attached to an inline  
SO-239 coupler (278-1369) or
b) get an inline BNC-female coupler (278-115) attached to a BNC/ 
SO-239 adapter (278-120)

Either way you end up with a cable with a BNC connector at one end  
and an SO-239 on the other.


best wishes,
