Re: [Repeater-Builder] SpectraTac Housing - SMA Connector?
I know that Mouser, Jameco, and Digikey have SMA connectors, although they might be solder rather than crimp. You'll probably even find some on eBay, and maybe even an entire cable.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] SpectraTac Housing - SMA Connector?
Hi Bob, Thanks for the reply. I too didn't think that there was anything special about the cable or connector. I was just looking to see if anyone knew of a supplier and part number for the SMA crimp on for RG400. ( I guess I should have typed it that way to begin with!) Thanks again!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] SpectraTac Housing - SMA Connector?
I don't think there's anything special about the connector or cable. You can just buy a regular straight SMA male (crimp or solder) for RG400, use a short piece of RG400, and attach it to the existing N-female chassis socket. Or make/buy a short SMA to N-male cable and install a bulkhead thru-connector, N-female to N-female, in the chassis. There should be room for that much. There are plenty of places on the web that will make any custom cable you want. You tell them what connectors you want at each end, the type of coax, and the length, pay about $30, and you get a very nicely made cable. The cable in my 900 MHz chassis is maybe 8-10 inches long and is arranged in the shape of a "2" with a tall tail at the top that is soldered to the N-female connector. There is an official part number for the entire cable assembly in the manual, but I doubt Motorola would have it any more, or if you'd want to pay them for it. I can send a photo of mine, if that would help. Bob M. == --- "Adam C.

[Repeater-Builder] SpectraTac Housing - SMA Connector?
Hello All, I'm going to be removing a low band receiver board from a Spectratac housing and replacing it with a 900mhz receiver. Does anyone know the manufacturer and part number of an SMA connector that can be purchased and crimped on to the coax jumper in the housing? If I cut off the RCA connector there appears to be enough cable to crimp on an SMA in it's place. Thanks! Adam N2ACF
