True. I always take the to be mated part w/ me to avoid repeat trips.

Hi John,
I only mentioned it so that someone wouldn't measure 1 inch, and
walk off to Home Depot and ask for 1 inch, only to be in for a big
surprise.

Hello Dave,
I looked for that antenna but could not find it, to understand how to
mate to it.
Consider using to a coaxial adapter at the antenna, TNC male to BNC female.
Then put a BNC male connector on whatever coax you will be using.
In an ideal world, a 75 ohm TNC will NOT mate a 50 oh
I just took the antenna to Home Depot and looked through the bins, found
something that fit well, paid, and left. LoL. Whatever the nominal Pipe
size, mine is NPT for sure.

If the thread measures 1 inch, it isn't 1 inch pipe thread. It is
more likely 1/2 inch pipe thread, or possibly 3/4 inch, depending on
how accurately you measured. 1 inch pipe is 1-3/8 inch OD, 3/4 inch
pipe is 1-1/16 inch OD, and 3/4 inch pipe is 7/8 inch OD.

On my FTS antenna it's just a standard 1" NPT male thread (NPT = National
Pipe Thread). Any US plumbing supply store or home improvement store will
sell you iron pipe threaded that way or adapters to go to PVC or copper.

Indeed looking as some more data sheets.
However, I have somewhere in the deed box at home, some Ex BT BNC's,

Doing that with BNC's will lead to a flaky connection, as the centre pin

The T-Bolt manual recommends 75 ohm coax, so will a 75 ohm TNC mate with a

I'm thinking of buying a Panasonic VIC100 timing antenna with a 50 ohm TNC
connector (I assume) from fluke.l on eBay, as the room I use for my den has
moved to one without a view to the south, so I can't use the puck antenna
mounted just outside the window any more.
