Oops. 950-1450MHz at the lnb port. Not like the old LNA/Downconverter days.It's more like you have 4x4 and you put on the best low profile road tyres you can get but you only drive on gravel and in the terrain. You pay too much for something that are not neccesary. Scanner antennas and scanners are not expensive 2-way radios and antennas that have a perfect 50 ohm impedance at the frequency they are used for. If RG6 coax and connectors are good enough to be used with sat dish signals at 3GHz then it's probably good enough for scanner use.
Spend your money on a low-noise amplifier, it will isolate the impedance from the antenna to the coax and with a lower noise level it will increase the scanners sensitivity and also make the coax a non attenuating device, a win-win situation. Always use a variable attenuator to adjust for best possible signal quality in the scanner as little too much signal will instead make the scanner loose it's sensitivity.

And yeah. I'm using a nooelec LANA for my sdr radio and even on my IC-R8600. Not even at the antenna.
And fyi. Before I bought my F compression crimp tool I just used 2 pairs of small Channel Locks to do the deed. Cable companies have all gone to compression crimp from hex crimp to assure a weather resistant seal.
There just aren't that many walk-in electronics stores anymore and so we all know the drill. Order and wait.
I'm not going to even go into Tires here. Amateur casual users jury rig too much and end up spending way more chasing bugs when they could have just done it right.
We can discuss the CB trucker who plumbed his Freightliner with a nice antenna, connectors, and radio and just happened to have a spool of good 75 ohm coax. Assumptions had me chasing terrible SWR (which DOES matter on any system rx and tx). I assumed too well and saw what he used. Lets talk about that later. There went several feet of my 9913 off the spool and some spare PL connectors from the box-o-connectors.
So, good luck and I hope you do it the right way.
