[NLRS] Connector query

I recently bought a GE-MVS series 2M FM radio and would like to convert the TNC port to a standard connection.  Digging into the radio a bit, I find that the connector on the circuit board is similar to what I see on Yaesu inter-board coax connections.  I'm trying to figure out what that connection is and need some help.

Imagine a RG174 class coax with a center pin soldered on, and a small rivet crimped to the coax.  The center pin sticks out from the end of the rivet/sleeve.  So the connector is basically the same size as the coax.  It fits into a socket on the circuit board.  I see several of these connections on the radio for interconnecting the boards.  I have seen these before.  My Yaesu MKV uses the same connector.  What is it?  I would like to replace one run and need to find that connector.

Any ideas?
