Speaking of 1.25m, check out what just showed up yesterday. :O

I've never seen TNC connectors in person before. :P

#AmateurRadio #HamRadio

50W 1.25m transverter from Q5 Signal and Down East Microwave. It accepts a 10m signal and upconverts it to 1.25m.
Rear of the transverter, showing the BNC and TNC ports among others.

I wanted this because my FT-991A does 2m and 70cm, but not 1.25m.

The same merchant also has models for outputting 2m, 70cm, 33cm, and 23cm. 👀

Very nice!!

I have the older version of the L222-28HP by Down East Microwave. I use it it with an old transverter interface that I modified so that the transverter automatically gets switched in when I change the band on the IC-7300 to 10m.

Q5 makes some really nice gear!

that's not a TNC; that's an N connector.

TNC (threaded nut connector) is about the same dimensions as
BNC (bayonet nut connector). N connectors are the same thread size as UHF (universal high frequency), but the interior are the same as BNC/TNC.

So, it is possible to remove the nut from a BNC and plug it into an N.

You're not the only one to notice that. Had to order some new connectors. :(

Are you sure that those are TNC, not BNC?

The right ones are BNC and the left one is actually N (pointed out by a few folks on different services).

Thinking the Ant/TX port is a N-connector as TNC are similar diameter as BNC, but threaded instead of twist-lock. Looks super-nice! Have fun on on 222!
