Help identifying odd connector - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi,

I'm hoping somebody might be able to identify the type of connector (picture attached) one picture shows the socket, the other picture shows the Male version on the opposite side.

I know for sure it is 3/8 size, and that a CB style antenna will physically fit. This connector has separate shield and centre pin though.

I'm trying to find an antenna to fit the socket. Or at least an adapter to fit.

Is this for a car DAB adaptor?

No it's for a Rohde & Schwarz Radio Comms Test Set

Used on a lot of CB antennas, the cable side not the antenna side.

I did try a CB antenna, and it does fit but the CB antenna doesn't have a centre and shield. it shorts out the centre conductor and shield on the socket.
