\nYou don't need anything as elaborate as a lathe, in fact it is very
\neasy to do.
\n
\nJust go over to the plain old GE groups, here on yahoo, and look to
\nthe left for FILES, click and scroll down to find GE RADIO DATA and
\nthen scroll down and click on M-PD and you will see the mods for a BNC
\nconnector. The M-PD and the M-PA have the same antenna connector so
\nthis works fine on a M-PA.
\n
\nWhile your there check out the other M-PA and M-PD files, you may
\nfind something interesting.
