There's something about your antenna that I don't understand. Does
yours look like the follwing drawing:

That diagram clearly shows an SO-239 female connector with plenty of
threads showing, which is how I remember it.
Is yours different in some way?

and the next page have pix of the current Metz antenna. Apparently, they've
changed their antennae, as the MMSI, AM/FM and this Metz I have all have the
type of connector shown, which is a discontinous thread. The pix of my
holding the still-mounted-to-original-bracket antenna show that it's not
long enough to mount with a nut, thus the extended connector I used...
Is your coax terminated with a PL-259 male connector? That is what
the Metz is expecting.
