Hi,

Thanks for all the previous help.
Realize they are all pretty basic questions, and appreciate the help very
much.

Am in my 70's now, and keeping up with a lot of this stuff is getting to
be a bit more difficult. Greatr hobby, though.

For a receive-only run to a scanner. I'm assuming that I am interested in
up to one GHz, absolute max.

Expect to go with F connectors on the coax as they are so readily
available already made up, and relatively inexpensive.

Anyone feel strtongly that it is worth going the BNC or the N route, or
can I probably be happy with the F's ?
About a 50 foot run. In practice, would I even see any difference ?

I plan on RG6U, Quad Shield, probably


For receive only I doubt you would see any differance if you just stuck the
center wire in the connector of the receiver and touched the shield to the
connector.
