75 And 50 Ohm Connectors In Same Listening Chain ?
ignore it, you will never hear the difference.

Hello,
Should have asked this also in my previous post re 50 or 75 ohm coax, but
I guess it is probably better to start a different thread.
New at this, so please pardon these very basic type of questions.
For a receiving only application, 30 MHz on down:
Putting up a new Inverted-L receiving antenna.
Radio, Balun, Lightning Arrestor use the 259 type of plug which I guess is
nominally for 50 ohm systems.
I can go with 75 ohm BNC connectors for the main coax run, but am pretty
well stuck with the
259 type for the already purchased units I noted above.
Intuitively, I guess I would like (all) 75 ohm connectors if I am using 75
ohm coax.
But, for 30 MHz and lower listening, would I even notice any difference,
probably ?
Is any received signal lost, or reflected back, at these 75-50 ohm
junctions ?
If meaningful, any way around the problem ?
Thanks,
Bob
