Connector question (antenna inout)

[orange]

I have some newer recevers as well as the Yamaha tuners (Larry's is A-OK the L-750 is dead) and they use an oversized edge ring with a cylinder in the middle with a hole for the conductor.

300 to 75 ohm 90 degree angle and manufactured cables than slip on work but you can't present the straightest signal path without excess conversions and leakage/noise introduction well or you risk is coming of on either side moving the cabinet around and that stupid to me.

I have an amp and it remains in front of the paths with a spliter providing separate receiver and DTV conversions. I've scanned police/emergency/public service traffic for years this way withiut a hitch.

(There's still cordless phone traffic out there but mostly in Spanish or a guy that keeps hanging up on the answering machine...or maybe, as I haven't used it in a while).

WHAT is this plug that won't take a screw on cable connector and is there a male connector I CAN CRIMP ON? I want the splitter end to stay put.

Seems almost cheesy but I have two Pioneers, a Sony in progress and a Yamaha tuner I'm tired of rigging.

What precisely are you asking Steve??

A pic of the jack would help, remember I know Dale the TE/EE, he could tell ya exactly what you want to know and may have an adaptor that would make it eaiser for ya.

I find two types of ends on TV coax

The standard full metal jacket with a threaded screw on collar...

and the molded slip-on type.


The problem is that, compared to the regular kind that is crimped onto A fairly stiff, sturdily jacketed cable the slip on jobS aren't stiff and look about as prone to failure as RCA cables from the dollar store.

These will hook you up but the look like they are just for those who connect and disconnect as fast as NASCAR and as flimsy as Mark Martin's front end grazing the turn 3 wall at 140 mph.

Unhooking the receiver isn't a big deal but I want the splitter end on tight and I dont want interference introduced into the tuner, especially with an amplified line (it's keeping two rooms with DTV and radios boosted and it absolutely does make the difference. I keep TV and radio on splits for whatever reason.

I just don't like the molded kind's jacketing and I'd rather have shielded cable worth it's salt.

The reason I think it's like an F connector is because I seem to remember the type on a Sony Betamax playback deck with linear stereo I have.

If I see a good one that doesn't look like it was attached to a Broksonic. I might crimp my end on one side but I had to ask. My usual 1998 Pioneer ha spring terminals so where did this come from?

I remember those connectors. Yamaha, if I remember, had this little wire that came in the box with the receivers that had a slip on at one end and standard coax at the other so you connect any coax connected antenna to it. But I'll be damned if I ever saw a fitting that you could buy to make your own.

There used to be a company around my neck of the woods called New England antenna. I would check with an antenna installation company I guess. A good tech might know.

Yeah but those guys are in Boise and I doubt the satellite guys do. We haven't had a cable company office here in a dozen years,

 

[Pure_Brew]

Satellite & cable guys will have no clue IMHO.

A picture would still help some of us, is it possibly a BNC connector?

How about these? PAL connectors.

Ah now it's getting somewhere cool!
