My advice is go for the BNC adapter.  You can just get the SMA gender 
changer, but SMA connectors aren't really ideal IMO.

So far as I know, the KG-UV6D is the same as the KG-UV2D with the 
addition of the repeater button.  If the repeater button doesn't 
speak the function, it's not worthwhile.  The repeater button toggles 
offset and shift directions, that's all.  The offset is of course 
going to be whichever is programmed into the VFO you're using.  The 
Eyes free guide recommends making the first VFO offset be 6 kHz, and 
the second 5 MHz for 70cm.  Good advice.
