@ Jose

Here is the adapter closeup with dimensions in mm:



And here is a problem for us A4000T owners:



The yellow arrow points to the hole in the PIV backplane that leads to the antenna-in of the Paloma. The two red arrows point to the part of the A4KT case that gets in the way of the thicker part of the adapter. You will have to grind that lip away if you want to use the above adapter.

I tried to find an adapter with a longer stem, but couldn't. Then I tried to find any kind of connector with the small RCA-style male connection as seen in the first picture. The central post of the connector is only 2.33mm wide, unlike an RCA connector which is more than 3mm. The central post of that connector protrudes only 1.15mm from the adapter. The overall length of the adapter is therefore 43.15mm (42mm if you only count the outer casing).
If you find one let me know where you got it because I want a spare to modify.

@ Alexh

Ja, I am very sure. That is the first thing I tried, an RCA male connector. I double-checked all of this with digital calipers.
