I have a diamond coax cable that is the teflon thin stuff so it is easier to route.

It looks like this but with a NMO mount...

The little connection that plugs into the 259 has broken off on my HAM radio. Is there a replacement part that I could attach and repair the broken part? I am not sure what connection I am looking for?

I'll get a pic from the actual cable asap. :thumb:

Nevermind. On trying to get a pic I realized it looked like a press fit part. So... I press fit it back in and it is working 100%. So, thanks for nothing. :hill:

I was waiting for a photo, too! My assumption was the pin in the SMA connector had pulled out but wanted to make sure before commenting. That pin is usually crimped to the center conductor of the coax before the SMA is assembled, so you may have a defective or damaged cable assembly. But depends on the SMA style. Some are designed to be field repairable so that pin is captive but not crimped and wouldn't necessarily require any special tools and might be totally fine.
