My kinwood ht had male on anntenna and female on the radio.  one time the 
conector broke and I had to find someone who could put the new connector in 
the radio for me .  I like this way better.  If the connector brakes the 
same way the last one did all I will have to do is replace the anntenna.  Of 
corse if the male part brakes I will be in the same boat as before having to 
find some one to replace the connector for me but with the pin resesed down 
in the radio I would hope that it would be harder to brake that way.  (grin) 
By the way, can someone refresh my memory?  The BNC connector, is that the 
type of connector that was found on alot of hand helt scanners?  The kind 
that is turned about a 1/4 turn and it locks in place?  thanks for all the 
in put guys!
