What I've seen on this last bunch of 390A's that I got a couple years  
ago was the fellow "made his own" antenna connectors by putting  
component leads into the center pin of the "C" connector, soldering  
it in (looks like with an American Beauty) and putting a pigtail on  
for the antenna.  Did the same thing with another, but with the twinax.

It surprises me at times that folks still can't find either of those  
connectors.

They're everywhere.  Sort of like Chicken Man, but not all places at  
once.
