Hey everyone so I just purchased me a new Uniden SDS 100 and a ProComm Home Mount Antenna kit with 100 feet of RG6 what connector will I need to connect my scanner to the base antenna?

I’m waiting to know the difference all I can find is one has a N shape connection? What is that will I need to buy any special adapters etc ? Or just screw my rg8x right in? It claims it has a Type N, female connector... Just curious what's so different between it and the sub models? Will my...

Hi folks. Pure newbie to this forum, though I got my Advanced Class ham license in 1968, so I've been around the block a few times. :) HOWEVER, I've been out of RF pursuits for a few decades (wasn't room for computers AND radios in my shack) but for Christmas my wife got me one of the new...

I recently purchased a SDS200 and love it. I've been using it with the extendable antenna that was in the box and it works good. What difference will I see going to a Diamond Super Discone Antenna? I plan on mounting it on a fiberglass pole I have my weather station mounted on the very top...

I am looking at upgrading my antenna setup for my base scanner. I monitor the Illinois STARCOM 7/800 system, UHF 450-470, and VHF 140-165. I live about 35 miles north of Peoria, IL , right along the Illinois River. I have one of these --->...

So I'm thinking about changing up my base scanner antenna this spring. I live about 1 street away from a building with a fairly strong pager transmitter (149.770 Mhz I think) on it (I can literally see it from my back door) and I believe it probably does affect a bit of my general listening and...

Im hoping you guys can help a newbie. My main goal is to achieve good simplex comms from my base (home rooftop tripod mount) to and from my truck. On both ends are baofeng uv-6r 5w HTs. At base is 50' rg8x direct from HT to 2m base antenna (firestik) on roof (about 40' high). I'm attempting to...

Hello, I recently discovered an old Knight base CB in my attic that my dad and grandfather built from a kit in the 1960's. I wanted to try and get it working, so I plugged it in quickly and it hums when I turn it on. The original antenna is long gone, so I went online looking for a new one. I...
