Connects military broadband antennas with TNC-Male connectors to radios with SMA-Male ports. Bridges the gap between mil-spec antenna systems and civilian handhelds.

Customer photo review of Black TNC Adapter (SMA F)

This adapter fits the Baofeng UV-5R radios and several others, makes it possible to attach the flexible vest Mounted Antenna that we use for comms while flying gliders. (see my review of the antenna)

Black TNC Adapter (SMA F)

The whole experience was great. However, I ordered the wrong part and would like to return these parts and get assistance with ordering the correct one. Please advise. Brian

Black TNC adapter (SMA Female) fits Motorola APX series while the one marked Motorola in silver does not.

Black TNC Adapter (SMA F)

Does exactly what its supposed to. When its installed, it looks like a factory part of the radio. Cant even tell its an adapter. I have one installed on a UV-5R and another on a BF-F8HP.

Store owner replied: We appreciate you taking the time to let us know 🙌

Bought several for the boys, we all love them. Solid connection, goes great with the vest mounted antennas we got as well.

Way better than the ones you can find on Amazon. The male side that plug into the uv5r (SMA) is slightly shorter allowing the adapter to sit flush with the top of radio. Middle part between both sides is super robust, coated in a black finish. Was worried about the old adapter breaking off on the male SMA side, zero worries with this one.

Excellent quality and although it was the wrong item shipped, customer service sent the correct fitting with zero hassle. They even included a return label for this. Fantastic support!

Black TNC Adapter (SMA F)

Outstanding quality, excellent performance. I love the capability brought by this adapter. The black finish is non-glare and looks fine under IR. Once again, Disco putting out the good kit!

10/10. Honestly forgot I bought this cause I put it on my wearable antenna on my pic over a year ago and forgot it was there. When I saw it in my order history I thought I’d misplaced it till I saw it was still on my antenna and still tight. This is the quality I wish all companies possessed. 15/10

Bought an extra to have on hand. I don’t think the first one I bought will ever break though. Anyone need one, I have a spare 😂

Best in Class Adapter As I wrote on the SMA M review, this adapter works because it stress relives the SMA on the radio by snugging up to the radio chassis, transferring antenna side loads to the frame without bending the oh-so-delicate SMA antenna connector on civilian radios. As a bonus the mat black finish abides my "shiny stuff will get you killed" philosophy for radio gear deployed for serious things like Military, Law Enforcement, and Emergency Management/Mitigation activities. All my hand held radios are being converted over to military grade antennas (many available on this site) and these fine adapters.
