Will a Rg59 coaxial cable work well with a hbu44 antenna?

RG6 would be better, especially if you have a long distance from your antenna to your TV. Shorter distance should be ok with RG59.
462825
Yes, with digital transmission reception will be either great or non-existent. This could be due to cable loss if the run is too long and a line amp may be required. Just my two cents.
462826
Yes, but more important is a good preamplifier at the antenna, regardless of which cable type you use.

Should be fine, RG6 is better for a longer cable run from antenna to tv. (Less signal loss). But RG59 should be good. Depending on how far you are from the station transmitter you might want to go with the hub55. I'm about 40-50 miles from and the 44 does ok, but weather plays with signal loss.

Yes RG8-50 ohm coax will work--But remember, if you are planning on running alot of watts, you should run RG 213--its the bigger coax--but yes, to answer your question, RG8 coax will work for sure.

Anymore, it's not a bad idea. RG6 is for digital cable and satellite, RG59 for analog. Any more, TVs, cable, satellite, DVD players, etc. are all digital. BTW, in my RV, I did not change out the installed cable lines, and even on the secondary line in the back room, it works fine, as long as I have the amplifier on in the wall plate. I'm not sure what cable was installed, though. You might try it first, before replacing the lines. I'm no techy, but I found the info on the cables online. Just used "rg59 vs rg6 coaxial cable" in search.

All inputs and outputs that I have used are RCA type jacks and pin jacks. I have not tried coaxial.

They specify RG6 .... Not sure if it's compatible with RG59. RG6 is the most commonly used type of coax for CATV and SAT TV installations.

I used a long coaxial cable that I had left over from a previous cable installation. The cable is NOT included with the antenna.

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.

As a rule of thumb (contrary to popular belief) RG59 CAN be used for lengths up to around 125'. RG6 can be used for lengths up to 200' and RG11 to lengths of 400'. These do assume a solid copper center conductor, and at least 60% braid on the shield to reduce the resistance in the wire (Ohms Law). The lower the quality of coax cable and connector - the shorter the run may be. The bottom line is that the LNB receive at least 13Volts for Odd Transponders, and ~15/16V for Even.

It is for multi strand phone cable.... so it will not work with shielded coax.

RG59 has a little higher loss than does RG6, so since you're not talking about significant lengths, you should have no problem.

RG 59 to my understanding is an older cable. I would think it would work for this purpose. I used RG 6 andIt works great. If you have ends on it just try it out on temporary basis. I bought the right length at Home Depot

RG-6 is 72 0hm coax, the booster input & output impeadance is 52 ohm, I use Belden 9913 low loss cable to the outdoor antenna & RG-58A/U to the indoor antenna. Both Cables are 52 ohm, the connectors on the booster are type N which would be very hard to use the TV foil shielded coax with.Box works very good with correct antennas & coax. Drew

I am using RG6 coax and have had it installed for 8 years. RG6 has twice the bandwidth of RG59. I've dug a little on the Internet and I saw reference of using RG6 to connect the antenna to the radio unit. My recommendation is to use RG6.

RG8 is 1/2 inch +- diameter. The coax for this antenna mount would be rg 58

Yes, the signal loss is less than that of RG6 or RG59. This is the same cable that my CATV installer used for a 250' run to my house.

I haven't tried that cable on those models. You might want to check some of the Amateur Radio sites such as QRZ.com. It's always a good source of info.

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.
