I use my Yaesu FT-891 for portable operations. I designed this adapter to replace the cumbersome SO-239 with a high quality Amphenol BNC connector. Id recommend ASA, ABS, PET, or other high temp filaments. 

I used Amphenol part number 112424.  Digikey: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/amphenol-rf/112424/1011723

NOTE: If you do not solder the ground tab quickly it can result in heating the printed adapter flange up enough to loosen assembly. Tightening the assembly after it has been soldered can be difficult. Use a high temp filament and solder quickly with a hot iron. 

If you don't want to deal with the possible installation frustrations, we have PCB Style BNC conversion kits available at N7TRX.com. A stronger solution with a conductive RF ground plane like the OEM connector.
