Hi Randy, N2CUA
For my needs with the adapters I use a TPI Coax Adapter Connector Kit model TPI 3000A Using the above Kit you can built your adapter by yourself screwing an Universal Interface with all type of connectors like BNC male ,BNC female, N male,N female, UHF male, UHF female, TNC male, TNC female, SMA male, SMA female, Mini UHF male ,Mini UHF female, F male, F female, RCA male, and RCA female.
Into the above KIT there are 30 silver plated pieces and teflon PTFE insulated suitable for any adapter combination
6 Universal Interfaces 2 BNC male 2 BNC female 2 N male 2 N female 2 UHF male 2 UHF female 2 TNC male 2 TNC female 1 SMA male 1 SMA female 1 Mini UHF male 1 Mini UHF female 1 F male 1 F female 1 RCA male 1 RCA female
At the end of your needs you can unscrew the universal interface between the two pieces of the combined adapter and reuse all of tree pices for another combination in the future both in the lab or outside at the antennas.
Just to remember where I have employed any combined adapter I use to put a note on paper and save it into the adapters box.
The above Kit was advertised by QST many years ago by the TEST PROBES INC TPI toll free 1-800-368-5719 but I don't know if this is still a valid phone numbar but probably you can find the above Company searching in internet by Google.
I am sure that many old timers reading AMSAT-BB are using the above TPI Adapter Kit and they can help you to find the TPI address in USA.
