Is it safe to spray some contact cleaner (DeOxit) into the BNC connector on
my handheld scanner? The 2 prongs or forks look dirty and I want to get the
best connection possible....

You might want to be careful about getting any on the plastic case of the
radio itself. It should be safe to use on the connector.

Yes. If you're worried about the plastic, try a bit of lighter fluid on
a normally hidden part; the cleaner in DeOxit is naphtha.
