My first Thunderbolt related GPS antenna was the mushroom model that came with my first kit from China. It had a length of 50 ohm rg58 attached. I added another 50 feet of rg6 to reach the Thunderbolt in my office. It worked fine but needed an amp to drive two Thunderbolts.
I then bought one of the 40bd antennas that appeared on Ebay. I used some rg6 filched from the cable installer so I have enough downlead to raise the GPS antenna higher to get a better sky view. The 40db unit seems to be able to drive two Thunderbolts without an amp. Still need the amp if I want to see anything on a spectrum analyzer. -- Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX N2469R c...@omen.com www.omen.com Developer of Industrial ZMODEM(Tm) for Embedded Applications Omen Technology Inc "The High Reliability Software" 10255 NW Old Cornelius Pass Portland OR 97231 503-614-0430 _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
