foliver Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Hello all. Long time without posting. The other day i broke 2 whip Lectros bnc's antennas. So it comes to my mind to test to solder again the antenna to the tip. The point is how can i dismantle the BNC connector? I want to make some tests soldering a new thin steel wire, to the connector. someone can point to me where to buy this BNC's connectors and how to dismantle them? All that i find in the web is others connectors intended more to video...... Same goes for SMA connectors to wire an antenna....... Any ideas?

Vincent R. Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Looks like a crimp style BNC with a sleeve over it. In other words, not really meant to be serviceable. most RF shops in town, I guess they even have them in Uruguay will sell them (get the 50 ohm), look into the scanner/walkietalkie section of the "yellow pages" for shops. Farnell, Mouser, or Aliexpress etc etc got you covered if you wanna buy online, both solder ones as crimp ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark kirchner Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 I have built BNC antennas before. Here is a photo of a BNC antenna that I made attached to a Lectrosonics ground plane antenna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
