Beehive 101A EMC Probe Set

Cables? Fittings??
Product is excellent, but it is shockingly difficult to find out what is the kind of connector on its, what is the necessary cable, where to get, etc. -- Spent $300 and can't do anything yet.Researched a bit -- discovered the probes have SMB MALE ends -- they need a SMB FEMALE to BNC MALE (for use w/ typical scope or sig an). I found USA-made 1m (3ft) cables for $9.99 each, on coaxrf dot com website.-- update 2017-08-14 --I originally dinged this thing for its lack of information on necessary connectors / cables, but then I felt bad because the product finish looks so nice, and their website does state: "One end of the cable has a female SMB connector to connect to the probes..." in several places.The problem is -- and the reason I'm dinging the Beehivesters -- is that the probe connectors are not SMB MALE; instead, they appear to be SMC MALE. So, either Beehive doesn't know SMB from SMC (or doesn't care to update their website), or the "Beehive" products for sale here are pirated.Unfortunately, I've spent an additional $80 + S/H for additional cables and connectors which do not fit the probes...so I'm compelled to return the beehives and get the blue TekBox ones (with a nice wood box and 40dB preamp) for about the same price as I've now spent on the beehives + necessary cables/fittings. As always: Shoulda gotten the pricier stuff at the outset.BEWARE -- YOU MUST BUY THE $20 ADAPTERS FROM BEEHIVE WEBSITE OR RISK SCREWING AROUND EXPENSIVELY.

Five Stars
The probes appear to work as advertised and much better looking than my home-made jobs.
