[NCARC] help finding UHF/SO-239 Female Connectors

[Glen Akins]

The connector is used in all of Diamond's and Comet's vehicle antenna 
mounts. Both the center pin and braid are soldered in this connector. 
Heat shrink tubing is then applied to the right angle bend where the 
wire is connected and you have a weather-resistant antenna mount. I'm 
buying an antenna mount for my Jeep that does not come with a connector 
or coax. To make routing easier, I'd like to buy the connector without 
the coax then solder it together myself.

Happy New Year!
