shxyke The finished cable is definitely a problem, because the website clearly states that it is designed for use with walkie-talkies. Buying SMA connectors separately would not work. Normal SMA connectors have different diameters at the top and bottom of the male connector, which creates a step that disappears when connected to the female connector. The UV-K6 SMA connector does not have this feature; its internal conductor has the same diameter throughout, which creates a small step when connected to the female connector. However, since walkie-talkies only use U-band frequencies, this step is much smaller than the wavelength of the transmission frequency, so the effect on impedance matching is not significant. Furthermore, the thicker internal conductor also increases durability. Therefore, general-purpose SMA feedline connectors that can be purchased online cannot be used with the UV-K6 connector.
😂I'm just saying, I'm a PhD graduate from a top university in Southwest China specializing in microwave technology. Even if you don't have a professional background in this field, there are still people with some experience. This is a real issue, so I'm asking directly: does anyone have a purchase link for this?
