I'm looking for a small patch cable (around 12") to connect the bullet to an antenna. Can anyone make a recommendation?

You want to good quality outdoor rated cat six cable. I actually spray my ends with never wet at 3M product you could put these in a lake and they would not get wet

we hardly recommend you to buy a patch cord already made by a manufacture of your choice, and don't try to make one on your own.This device most of the time is used outdoors, so you need a good patch cable, possible grounded, to avoid many problems.

My advice to u is that if u want to make your own cable from the bullet to the antenna...don't fight it too much..Because what will happen is u can easily create what is called signal bleed and it's not good at all especially if u wanna receive/output a wireless signal..There r a lot of great antenna with an N-Male type connector that fits right into the bullet for maximum output..I personally went with the TP-Link Parabolic antenna which i Never regret..If u are looking for something smaller check out tp-link patch antennas or indoor directional antennas..

Yes, you need something like this- RF coaxial cable SMA female to UHF SO239 PL259 female RG58 20 inches | Made in the U.S.A. by MPD Digital (TM)It is best to get an adapter with a short cable between the SMA female and the PL259, that greatly reduces stress on the connector on the radio versus a solid connector.

3.5 mm and RCA cables are not part of the package. You can buy any 3.5 mm or RCA cable at Dollars store will work. Cable length about 6' or less would be sufficient. I got my cable from Dollars store which made very high quality. Look for RCA or Philips. Remember the longer the cable, signal will degrade. Happy hunting.

I've used the HD Frequency Cable Cutter I/O HD Digital antenna and other much cheaper "rabbit ear" type antennas. I found not much difference in the number of channels I received. The real determining factor is your location. In hindsight I would have just purchased a less expensive antenna..

Thanks for asking. I used the 20pc Premium Brass 18-22 Gauge Male-Female Solderless Crimp Bullet Plug Connectors by Pro Tools Price: $2.39 available from Amazon and crimped both ends. Best regards, Mark H

I have the BNC male to SMA coax adaptor. Just go to the Amazon page that has the Mini Magnet antenna you want to use and scroll down a bit. You will see the adaptor. $4.95 I believe is the price. Hope this helps.

I personally use the NAGOYA NA 771 Antenna bibanda 144/430 MHz with gain of 2.15 - 3.0 dBi With a length of 38 cm, is flexible and versatile for outdoor if you cut a little lower dome to the ceiling of the female connector sma conexiona best co sma male connector of walky, there is another brand that is Super Antenna 145/435MHZ SG 7900, 158cm, 5.0dbi (144MHz) and 7.6dbi (430MHz), I have not tested this but I've heard good reviews against it is that is telescopic and too rigid for my liking, I hope that works for the explanation, a greeting

I don't know what to say about the kind of antenna it has. It's small. I tried to find an extension cord for it. I went to Fry's Electronics, Radio Shack and I looked on the internet and I couldn't find anything with a connector like what this antenna has. The antenna did a good job of picking up the radios station that I wanted to listen to at my desk. I set it on the window sill. I'm not using this device any longer. Read my review of this Antenna for additional information.

go to getmyelectronics.com under antennas look for the RF Antenna adapter (coax), it says it for small portable digital tv antenna adapter esp. RCA $13.99 I had same problem looking for one as I have the RCA digitalTV DHT235A 3.5" I'm ordering mine now.

I bought a 50' cable with one end that screwed into the antenna. Then I went to an electronics shop and bought an adaptor that allowed the other end of cable to attach to my scanner.

They may make one, but the one I ordered would not fit a 12 gauge. I had a hard time getting it on my 300 win mag.

If your looking for a great antenna that is optimized for the new digital TV frequencies, check out the HD Stacker antenna at Denny's Antenna Service (http://www.dennysantennaservice.com/hd_stacker_tv_antenna-html.html). This is a much smaller antenna and I found it worked very well for me. Price is $99 (on sale). Good luck!

First of all, make sure that your cable signal isn't scrambled (requires a decoder box). If it isn't, what you are looking for is called "coaxial cable" ("coax cable" for short), and can be found for under $10 on Amazon.

Not too close because muzzle blast will either knock the unit over or at least cause an erronious reading. The length of the cable controls max distance of 5 metre so 3 - 5 metres is ideal........enjoy

I would contact Firestik and ask. I used a firestik mount with my antenna. The only concern I would have would be the threads not matching between antenna and mount.

It's a pretty thin connection. I would look for something twice the size of this connector.

I went with a quad band antenna from ebay. Fixed to a boot mount on mast on house. Couldn't afford a home base antenna.
