I am in the process of finishing my home made ground plane antenna and I used the whip of an old CB mag mount that still had the coax attached to it. I wanted to attach it to some RG-6 since it's inexpensive but i'm confused by all the different type of adapters out there. I've looked at some that appear to be F, but say SMA on them. I've also seen some that say RF on them. I found one that looks correct but is almost 5.00,which is fine if i have to spend that much but i'd rather not. So my question is: Is the SMA connector the same as the F connector associated with TV/cable wire? I'll show you two i'm looking at on ebay. First one is the one I know will work: 1x F TV Male Plug to UHF SO239 So 239 Female RF Coaxial Adapter RF Connector USA | eBay This one here, i'm not certain about:UHF So 239 Female Jack to SMA Female RF Connector Fast Shipping US Seller | eBay Yes I know one is a male and the other is a female, I plan to use a barrel connector if need be to attach the RG6. Thanks
