Different RT-68 antenna connector

Post by Sean Bathrick » Thu Jul 21, 2022 6:12 am

I'm trying to clean-up and mount an AN/VRC-10. However the antenna connection is unlike what I have seen before. What adaptor am I able to use to connect the antenna cable? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Looks like a "N" type connector

what kind of adapter do you need? I probably have
N male to So239 female (the standard ham radio RG8 coax connector)
N male to BNC female (the small diameter RG58 cable connector adapter.)
or for no adapter - I have N male cable connector

I would replace it with correct BNC connector.
