CAn this adapter be used with a 24 DBi external parabolic antenna and a pigtail cable?

The connections are reverse SMA - so yes, if you have those connections on your antenna. But, you lose the MIMO function if all three antenna ports aren't used.

Yes....I have my adapter attached to my baofeng 82x 220 HT attached to a 220 J pole. not one problem.

The built-in antenna works fine. I have a 700 series external antenna and the 597cidi combo with an internal and notice no difference. I like the internal antenna- no mounting.

You will set it up with a F connector. Mine came with that kit. Here's the specs...http://www.antennacraft.net/Manuals/HBU_web_manual.pdf

The make a couple of different antenna adapters. You have to get the correct one.

The cable that comes with the antenna is RG59 terminated at both ends with F59 connectors. You will need an F female to BNC male adapter which is relatively inexpensive.

Dont know about the coax. The terminations are N between the external antenna and the device, and N/F from the device to internal antena

I'm pretty sure you could if it has the same adapter the antenna plug in spot is about 2 cm from one side to the other crossing the center

they don't connect without an adapter (referred to often as a 'pigtail' adapter cable. problem is, i don't know if your wifi access point/router has removable antenna/s. if it does, and if (usually) the connector is a mini SMA connector then you could use this: http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-ANT24PT-RP-SMA-Pigtail-Cable/dp/B003U6825G/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1374506928&sr=8-3&keywords=pigtail+connector or, if you have a connector on the access point called RP TNC then you'd use a connector cable like this: http://www.amazon.com/RP-TNC-Plug-N-Male-200-Assembly/dp/B002LYUYYK/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1374507103&sr=1-2&keywords=pigtail+connector+rp+tnc keep in mind, every time you use an adapter of some sort you lose 1db. every 30' of cheaper cable you use you're gonna lose at least 1/2db or more so use the thickest/highest-quality cable you can if you will be putting the antenna 30'+ away from the access point....ESPECIALLY if going 60' or more. Otherwise your antenna loses a lot of efficiency. Also, remember to elevate the antenna reasonably....more than 6' off the ground if only focused on a limited area (say, 1/4 acre), maybe 15' high if your tryiing to cover about 1 acre. a lot depends on what structures are on the property and what materials things are made of. be wary of metal clad buildings such as aluminum covered barns, chain link fences, etc. penetration in those cases is iffy at best. good luck!!

Specifically, I bought two of these units and due to poor design (plugin nut not tightened) I twisted an internal wire and broke it.I am not using the other unit. A signal declines over the distance it travels in a cable. I have 150' (2 75') of cable with two 22dB amplifiers on a HD antenna and it works for me.

From my experience, I would say no. That antenna will cause the output drivers to overload because it will take more power to drive them. This will cause transmission errors.

you need an SMA Reverse polarity Male connector, other wise you´ll be stock with an antenna you cant use.

Here you go (if you haven't bought one already): MPD Digital smaF/pl259f SMA Female to UHF SO239 PL259 Female RG58 Adapter Cable, 3-feetExact setup that I have and it worked great (until it got taken out by a branch. Upgrading to a flexible antenna now).

There several places on Amazon that sell the antenna adapter, just search--e.g., for DHT235A antenna adapter.

Look at the bottom of the TP-Link. Open the small door. Gold colored connector. That is the male RP-SMA connector. Order from Amazon: TP-Link 0.5-Metre 2.4GHz/5GHz Pigtail Cable with N-type Male to RP-SMA Male connector (TL-ANT200PT) and TP-LINK TL-ANT2424B 2.4GHz 24dBi Directional Grid Parabolic Antenna, N Female connector, weather resistant. The connectors are obvious. You have to work out a mast for the antenna yourself. Works great but not magic. You can't make a connection through a mountain for example. Or really dense woods for that matter.

The short answer is yes. We have installed two of these with the associated patch antennas without issue. If you chose to go the Yagi route, you would need to pay attention to cable and antenna connectors as well as impedance rating (50/75 ohm). I would suggest trying it with the included patch antenna, if you do not get the gain you require, then try the Yagi.
