Here’s my tentative setup:
Larsen Triband 150/450/800 on NMO Ground Plane. Use PL-259 to F adapter and run RG6 Quad Shielded cable to a UG2802 drop amplifier to 5 other scanners. The scanners will use 6’ F cable and use F to BNC adapters to connect.
Here’s my dilemma, my Ground Plane kit arrives tomorrow but it has a UHF connector on it. From my research, the UHF connector is not liked by many and has loss above 500MHz. I will be monitoring several 800MHz systems with this antenna.
Should I return this NMO Ground Plane with a UHF connector and get one with an N connector instead? Will the difference in reception be that much, considering I will immediately be using an F connector to run with RG6 cable? I want to make sure I can have the most reliable setup. Thank you.
