I have never heard of an S M A saver device. However, what some of the guys 
out here in California do is, the buy a bnc to S M A adapter and put that 
on. Then, they use antennas with bnc connecters on. When they want to remove 
an antenna and put another one on, they just remove it from the adapter. The 
bnc to S M A adapter alwayse stays on the radio, thus saving the connecter 
on the h t. Don't know if that helps or not. 73 and God bless. Doug, N6NFF

Subject: "SMA Saver" Advice

Hi!



I am pondering using a "SMA saver" to prolong the life of the SMA antenna
connection on my Kenwood TH-F6 HT.  Presumably, with a SMA saver, you
connect it to the HT just once, and then your antenna (e.g., rubber duck) or
whatever to the SMA saver many times.  When the SMA saver wears out, you
just remove it from the HT, and then replace it with another SMA saver.



So, does anyone have a recommendation for where I can buy these?  Also, what
advice do you have about the pros and cons of using a SMA saver?
