Help Finding an SMA Connector

Hi,
I have a radio that has an RCA receptacle for the antenna plug that I would like to replace. The plug is soldered into the board and looks something like
http://search.digikey.com/us/en/prod...1467-ND/724808
Is there an SMA connector (or other type) out there that might have a matching footprint so that I can directly replace the RCA connector? I have not been able to find one so far. I am replacing the RCA because I have to do a lot of converting between connectors (The entire rest of the system is SMA) and the plug is getting really really annoying. I think I can replace it with minimal loss. Are there any other suggestions for things to replace this with? Would soldering directly be adequate?
Thanks!

Broaden your search beyond digikey, mouser, newark. Look at Pasternack. THey have all connector types (RF) imaginable. Although not the most cost efective.

I suggest you use there conector wizard and review there recent catalog. You should find what you need here.
I have looked at Pasternack actually. (Have the newest catalog in my desk!) I was not able to find anything in the footprint that I needed. Is that a good indication that no such connector exists? If so, how should I get rid of this horrid RCA connector?
