I would think 50ft of Times LMR400 with those connectors should run about $100 plus shipping. To put an end to the madness I would make you a 50ft length of Times LMR400 with a Times EZ series N male connector at each end and sweep test it for $75 plus shipping. That’s less than the cost of the components.
I'll do that I might need one connecter off so I can get the coax in the house are they easy to put on

I could strip and prep the open end but you would need a crimper with LMR400 dies and you would not get it sweep tested for VSWR and loss. If I complete the cable it will meet specs past 6GHz but if you do it all bets are off.
I Have a rg11 crimper with other dies
That is TV COAX not the same. Using the correct tool is a must.
Can you just get the die
For a pair of Commerical Pair of Crimpers. My RF Industries Crimpers kit cost me $100 30 years ago. But you can get a cheap pair but as prcguy stated all bets are off. You do have the option to make a feed through plate to go through a window.
You can even drill a bigger hole and seal it with gray electrical putty from Lowes.

Buddrouse If I ask questions on anything else I don't need you help and don't reply
Me along with most others here are tired of you playing games. I think you are just playing games with us here. Good luck getting any help from people that are doing RF or have been in the RF Industry for years. You are like a child on a car trip THAT KEEPS ASKING ARE WE THERE YET.
Playing games since you been doing it 40 years wouldn't you know what antenna to use for any scenario, Like my dad people knows a lot but when you ask questions they get stupid
In 1978 I passed the FCC 2nd Class General Radio Telephone License that means at age 20 I was qualified to keep FM Radio Stations on the air.
I have also help build and maintain County Public Service Trunking Systems and Swapped over our Local Fire Department to its new 2 Slot DMR System that is in use now. WE have told you what is the best to get you started and you make no effort but ask more questions as I have told you Local Ham Radio Operators in your area can help you the most. To answer your last question would require a site visit to the area of the Transmitter Site and the Receive Site. You have refused help from users here that do this for a living and offered you basic help to get started.
Now what you have chased off in me is a person that has drove 150 miles to help someone and never even ask for the gas money when I spent half a day on site. Good luck in your endeavors as most here will not try to help you any further until you start to help yourself.

I contacted Ham Operators they said they don't cover 800 MHz frequencies, Do I get a yagi over a omni is that correct

Well Bud, looks like you’ve been told and asked in the same sentence.
I‘ve mentioned before this is a nearly impossible question to answer and it needs more information. A high gain Omni might work ok or it may not due to simulcast or multipath interference. I prefer high gain Omni antennas whenever possible as I listen in all directions and don’t want to turn a directional antenna all three time. Your needs may be way different.
You could put up an Omni and find it’s got problems and the only way to know for sure is to test a Yagi and an Omni and choose the one that works best for you.

What is considered high gain

To me maybe 8-10dBd or more.
The only one I seen that wasn't exspensive was 9 dbd at 90" some brands for 10 at 83" then a 12 at 134"
