Hello - yes - You'd have to buy an N-type. Male to UHF (Female - UHF) Adapter (depending on your needs) Simply go to Amazon and perform a search. Thanks. At SignalUnlimited, we're here to help you.
As stated, RG6 is 75 Ohm, so it will have a slight impedance mismatch with your scanner's antenna connector, which is most likely designed for 50 Ohm cable input. The slight loss caused by the mismatch, on the other hand, is insignificant and has no bearing on your receiving application. Because it is far less lossy than typical 50 Ohm cable of the same physical size, 75 Ohm coaxial cable is used in TV and CATV applications. However, 50 Ohm cable can handle more power than 75 Ohm cable of roughly the same physical size - In transmitter applications, this is important.

We put the Bolton 400 low-loss coax cable through its paces before installing it. Everything seemed to be in its place. It's paired with a Comet CP- On a 50-foot tower, there are 21 antennas. I was blown away after installing the system and running a standing wave analyzer on it. Then, at 1240 MHz 1, we connected the radio to a 50 watt amplifier with an inline SWR meter. We were only one person at 1300. I'm glad I bought it because the guys who work with coax cables are very happy with it.
br> On both 144mhz and 440 mhz, the quality is excellent, and the signal strength is significantly better than the RG8X I was using previously. My signal has improved by 1 to 2 seconds, according to my source. units. br>I was so pleased with the first roll I bought for my 1200mhz antenna that I bought another for my 2m/440 rig. br>Would buy again in the future without hesitation.
I purchased a 100-foot roll of N-type tape. On both ends, there are connectors. It runs from my office to the attic, then out to a 15-foot-high rooftop antenna. For the time being, it'll just go into a discone, and I'll have to add an N-type connector. For that, you'll need a UHF adapter (plus, of course, adapters on the other end to connect to an SDR dongle). br>br>HUGE improvement over the RG8x I was using previously. I'm new to this, so I figured the 8x would suffice, as it's flexible and easy to pull through walls, and the 1. A 5" pipe runs from the attic to the roof. However, once I realized how much attenuation occurs with RG8x, it was no surprise that I couldn't get much more than the cheapo antennas that came with my dongle with that setup. br>br>So I bit the bullet and bought it, running the same route as before. Not in the same way, at least. A new 7/8" hole had to be drilled into the wall framing from the attic. I was able to pull it through the roof penetration alongside the RG8x and some RG6 with a generous amount of lube. It was a tight fit for everything, but whew, I got it pulled in the end. The 90- In the attic, there's a ridiculous 180-degree bend. The roof's 90-degree curves were difficult to navigate with the connector attached, and I was about to give up when I finally got it fished through. br>br>From the discone (which has a flat/zero gain), there was an immediate improvement. Frequencies that had previously been sporadic were now coming in clearly. br>br>For the time being, I'm going to stick with the discone setup, though I might add a low-voltage power supply. Perhaps a noise amplifier in the attic, about 20 feet from the antenna, or even a mast mount. br>br>I'll most likely use the unused RG8x run for a 2M band dedicated antenna - Something with enough gain to compensate for the attenuation of 100' of that stuff at 144MHz without the use of an amplifier. I'll have to come up with something else once I get my license and start transmitting, but that'll have to wait. Overall, I like it, and since I haven't used any other LMR400, I'm not sure if it's more or less stiff than the official Times Microwave stuff, but at this price, I don't mind. br>br>All I have to do now is figure out how to cut, strip, and crimp my own connectors so I can add the LNA. In that regard, I'm just assuming that this has the same characteristics as LMR400, so we'll see how things go.
" The seller was upfront about the fact that this isn't an "LMR400," but the performance is comparable: I tested it with an uncalibrated spectrum analyzer and signal generator and found that it performs as well as a 10' LMR400 cable I have. br>The connectors are crimped tightly and sealed with marine heat shrink, exactly as pictured. If I had to pick a flaw, this cable was a little stiffer than the "LMR400" cable, but it worked perfectly for a permanent installation. br>br>This is a high-quality cable that consistently performs. It's the best I've come across at this price.
This cable is well-made, heavy-duty, and has a low db loss.
400 coax. The cable is a little stiffer than the others in the xxx-series. There are 400 cables in total. Although the outer jacket's durability is unknown at this time, a cable analyzer shows adequate loss for 2m frequencies, which is comparable to other coax types.
