Source for XTS2500 surface mount antenna jack?

Received a 2500 with an antenna connector that someone had somehow managed to break off.

Went through the service manual and the exploded parts diagram. Seems like the surface mount jack for XTS2500/1500/etc radios isn't available on its own (looks like you're stuck having to buy a whole new board).

Anyone know of a source for these? Time spent on Google seems to yield nothing but generic gold plated connectors from China.

Here's the part I'm looking for:

Page 662 of the DSM - J101 Part number 2880658Z08.

I order them all the time, go through about 10 a month. This is a normal wear and tear item when people put the broadband antennas on the radio and then they get bent under the 'overhang' at the belt line.....

Thanks! Funny you mention the broadband antenna as this is what it had on it when it came in. Guess I'll be ordering a few of these guys just in case.

Not hard to change if you have the correct equipment, remember that the board and the jack are a LARGE heat sink.
