SMA Female to MCX Male

[DJBio]

Just received the 2 SDR’s I ordered along with a sma adapter to join them into one antenna but I think I need to order 2 SMA Female to MCX Male to connect to the y adapter believe this is what I need

Don't use a 'Y' cable, this is not the way to do it. (too much loss)

Use 2-way splitter (i.e. 5-2400MHz) and get the leads with appropriate connectors.

• e.g. F-type male to SMA male (splitter to SDR).
• And F-Type to whatever mating connector is of the coax coming from antenna.

These are pretty cheap via ebay or aliexpress.

Trust me, you'll never seem to have the right combination for the task at hand sometimes.

This is the y adapter I have but I need something that will connect the y to the SDR
Just want to make sure I order the right adapter(s)

You did not state what type/brand SDRs you have purchased. (so we can know what the antenna connector used is)

The connector does look right though if the SDRs are just the cheap blue RTL dongle (not the RTL-SDR.com dongle).

Same as this but it did not come with the sma adapter sojust wanted to double check https://www.amazon.ca/NooElec-NESDR...r&qid=1702353249&sprefix=sdr+,aps,104&sr=8-45

Yes, that's the right adapter.
