Hey guys,

Ok so I have a uniden scanner hooked up to my computer and everything is running fine.  I found an antenna extension wire that i want to use but am unsure of how to connect it.  The antenna hooks onto the scanner using a BNC clip ( i believe thats what its called... the one that you kind of put over and then turn into place)

the extension wire that i have has those bnc connectors on both sides.

My problem is that I can hook up the extension to the scanner.. but how do I connect the extension cable to the antenna?  Looking on ebay I found both couplers and adapters. 

I would assume that I am just going to use something like that but they all say cctv or coax or soemthing like that.  Now I know I would need to get one that is NOT for coax if i am using these specific connections.  But what are they called?

Anybody know what I am talking about??

thanks in advance..

I think what you're talking about is a BNC to PL-239 connector.

Or just take the connectors into radioshack and match them  :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

yeah radioshack has nothing...

Ill figure something out.. im pretty sure its just the bnc female to bnc female...
