Going to use a short jumper (10') between the antenna(8dBi Omni Antenna) &amp; the bullet. Can someone point me to the right cable please? Thanks

i used a 1" electrical tubing from the home depot, which is 1 1/8" od. you can also use a 1 1/4" electrical conduit, this pipe is 1 3/8" od. these pipes are a thin galvanized metal which i am sure will out last the antenna.

keep looking, you just need a uhf amplifier, find one at radio shack. or even a old tv vhf,uhf amplifier,thats built in antena...

This antenna is for UHF and VHF HIGHThere's low VHF (2 thru 7) and high VHF (8 thru 13). Very few stations actually still broadcast in the low VHF range, even if the channel you tune to is 2 through 7 (For example, my (virtual) ch. 6-1 is actually ch. 25 in the digital tuning.) Check a site like RabbitEars dot info for a list of your area's stations. As far as the distance, as long as the stations aren't using seriously weak transmitters, you shouldn't have any problems, but a bunch of things come into play. (Mast height, cable/coax quality and length, physical and geographic obstacles, and my latest problem, RF interference from other electronics.)

Yeah I agree with Danny, but with some creative engineering you can still boost the signal distance. The only way to boost the signal of something like this would be to utilize the interrupt pin and have it trigger from a read on the external antenna, Which would actually be pretty interesting to code and build. Hope this helps!

if the ad range is 60feet of RX power. Replace the stock antenna with a 2-3-4x higher dbi antenna (I believe this one features a RP-SMA antenna port vs the Miccus which is SMA port.) and you'll get a much better range and signal strength. I replaced my Miccus antenna with a 8dbi and i can basicly dance around the whole home in both TX and RX modes. But with the standard antenna i was only able to do half my home. And this is threw walls,etc. So if you get ether such. Highly suggest getting a upgrade antenna.

Well - this antenna won't help you at all. For AM reception a "long wire" style antenna is preferred. Simply try and string up as long as piece of wire as you can with the wire parallel to the station you want to pick up. Generally 20-30 feet of speaker type wire "unzipped" to make a single strand...buy 15 feet of wire, unzip it, twist the wires together in the middle and you have a 30' piece. Hook one end to the AM antenna jack on your receiver and try to get the remaining wire up as high and as straight as you can. But don't go nuts...I've run the wire out a window and along the eaves just under the house and its worked great. And you can't beat the price! Good luck!

Any standard coax cable should work fine. Don't know if that will affect reception. Probably depends on the total length.

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.

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).

You should cut the antenna lead to the shortest possible distance to the radio. The supplied fitting does not work on a short lead. Standard coxial connectors are available at marine stores like West Marine or a Radio Shack. The best require a solder connection to the inner copper wire.

Should work fine still, you just will not hook up anything to the third antenna connection(typically grey). You should have a white and black antenna cable though, use both of these. Your range may be reduced though and link rate may be reduced do to decreased stream capacity, because you won't have the grey(MIMO antenna).

I'm sorry I can't answer that question. I hooked mine to a Wilson Sleek cellphone amplifier (with excellent results, I might add. I now receive a 2-3 bar signal in a remote camp where there was zero signal with the Sleek and a high gain omni antenna.) But back to your question, I called the Wilson Customer Service people and they told me just what connectors to use. Customer reviews indicate one of the connectors is fragile, so I ordered a spare.

The antenna on to is the only connection , use an adapter to connect to your coax. This should achieve what your looking to do.

Run a power signal amplifier up to 20 - 30 feet downstream from the antenna. You can then run 2 - 75 foot coax from the amplifier with no signal loss. Better ones have two out to TV connections and a lit power on indicator. Trick is to adjust the antenna position for maximum reception. The powered signal amp will make all the difference. Expect to pay 60.00 dollars and up for a decent amp. If you post the question I will tell you which model and where to buy. I'm talking pro equipment.

Be sure to use GR8 cable and a lightning suppressor grounded at the pole. The antenna is a short RG11 cable with a BNC fitting. I remember male.

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
