Having said that, try Auto-Radio on the main shopping street in downtown
Rota, Spain. I believe I saw some F to SMA adapters there a few years ago.
I know they had SMA to UHF, another unexpected combination.

SMA to UHF probably isn't as unexpected as you think. I use one to
connect an HT to an antenna mounted in the attic. Lets me listen to
the radio while down in the basement.

The only problem is the weight on the connector. Most of the time it
is probably easier to go from SMA to BNC, have a short run of RG-58,
and then switch from BNC to UHF to run into the RG-8 or RG-8X cable
running to the antenna.

Wish I had some pictures of when the HT (a Kenwood TH-D7AG) was fully
hooked up. It had an antenna cable, power, microphone, and data all
there at once. Looked funny but it got the job done for packet
operation.
