Thread: UHF aerial cable joiners

Being UHF I doubt it has N-type connectors.

More likely PL259 or BNC...

N-type at least is constant if you do need a join. Something to consider if you have a D3/D4/RRS as body off work requires the ability to disconnect anything running to bar work!

LOL! Early morning brainfade on my part .. of course PL259 connector. Too many hours work, not enough of them for sleep!

I'm just thinking tho for the OP, being a GME aerial, the two that I've had in my UHF time, both have had directly connected cable runs at the aerial end.
Which usually means that you'd need a connector only at the radio end.
What many folks would probably do is to chop the cable at a short distance from the aerial and fit a connector to make life easier for the cable run after the initial install.
