I'd be careful what I asked for. Sma connectors are way more
difficult to connect than TMP. In close quarters almost impossible
to turn the nut on a sma and the fine thread has to be exactly
aligned. I have two custom-made tools for doing that and that is not
always good enough.
Better would be one of the miniature mw connectors that just
push-on. But cost comes into the design consideration. These TMP
are used in many radios for low-level RF connections that are hardly
ever disconnected (except for maintenance or upgrades).
What you are doing is making upgrades which most hams never will do
with other brands (they get to buy new rigs instead). Be glad you
are not asked to solder sm parts to make the upgrade!
