I've gladfully moved out of an HOA back into a normal neighborhood and for all these years kept my loved Discone antenna packed away.
I'm getting ready to put it back in service. Back in the day I had put a PL-259 to 75-ohm connector on it and had it connected to regular coax like I had used for cable TV or satellite.
I still have that PL-259 connector on it but my Pro-2024 scanner has a Motorola type jack on the back.
So now, I'm faced with how to get this antenna mounted and the wire down to my radio with minimum loss.
I do not have any RG-58 tools or connectors. I have plenty of RG-6 cable and connectors and the tools.
Will this work with minimal loss of signal?
Thanks in advance.
