Im guessing that th= e two "unusual" female types did not come from Apollo equipment though. Reg= ardless, I'm sure its pretty easy to make one of those 7W2 to 2x BNC/male "= dongles" from off the shelf connector housing parts. On a side note, I thin= k our frames of references are swapped. When describing male vs female, Im = callign the ATR adapter the female and the cable connector the male, but th= e actual conductor gender is the opposite. :)
