I'm looking to connect my radio and transponder cables to their 

respective instruments (ICOM A200 and Garmin 320A).



I used RG 58 cable for the radio antennas and RG 400 for the 

transponder antenna.



When I look at available co-ax connectors there seem to be a host of 

different ones - thread on, push on, screw on, compression, "turn and 

lock"....I'm totally confused.



Can someone educate me about co-ax connectors, so I might at least 

form a picture of what I should be using? I expect there's a rule set 

of when to use what.



Many thanks

Neil

Cant speak for the transponder Neil but your your Icom A200 expects to see a 

BNC co-ax connector heading its way. That's a push on, turn and lock or 

bayonet fitting.

 Go to GOOGLE, select PICTURES and type in BNC ... You will get lots of hits.
