Question: What connector do I use to connect this to a scanner?
Answer: The connector for this antenna is an F jack. There are two methods for connecting it to a scanner:
● You can use an RG-6 cable with an F plug on each end and then use the F to BNC adapter (Cat. No. 278-0251) between the cable and
the scanner.
● You can use an RG-6 cable with an F plug on one end and a BNC plug on the other. We do not sell this cable pre-built.
To construct the cable in the second option, you would need the following:
● a sufficient length of RG-6 coaxial 75-ohm cable.
● an RG-6 F plug such as the Weatherproof Crimp-on F Plug - 278-0236 (for outdoor use), or the Standard Twist-on F Plug - 278-0229 (for
indoor use).
● an RG-6 BNC plug such as the Solderless Right-angle BNC Plug - 278-0126.
