If I buy polaraized replacement antennas, do I need male or female leads on them?

You need rp sma, female. If you plan on getting into fpv get ready to do a ton if reading and researching. Keep in mind a tree or a building between you and you plane will loose signal. Line of sight. Have fun and always be safe!

Karen, If the cable you need is a mini cable ( smaller than normal TV cable) and has reverse polarity ( male end where female end is normally at and female where male is normally at) then this is the correct cable. I have used a Wilson booster in the past and I believe they all use mini RP cables.

You will need one that is no longer in production. If you plan on adding sirrus I high recommend you purchase a unit that is Sirius/XM ready the antennas for this unit (if you can find ) are crazy expensive and out dated

Unlike 120 volt electrical outlets and normal TV cable "F" connectors where it's trivial to tell male from female, SMA uses 4 different designs. The safest way is to look at the gateway and look at a picture of the antenna to see if they will fit. The antenna probably has a nut like all RG-6 cables, but it might have a pin for the center conductor or it might have a socket. See "https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/140" for an explanation, although it's definition of "Reverse Polarity SMA Male" certainly looks female to me. Since this antenna has an "SMA male" connector by default, it probably won't work. But Superbat is super helpful and they might be able to make you one with an "RP-SMA male" connector if you ask for it.

I was emailed by amazon and asked to reply to your question. Bottom line is the ones I got are only two wire (brown and green ) and polarity does not matter with them. You are safe testing by randomly touching the wires to the battery leads to find out what will work.

I am assuming that your SMA ends on your cable are actually SMA Males (don't go by the threads but by the center core). The antenna in question has a SO239 connection which is considered the female end (again go by the center core rather than the threads). The SO239 mates with a PL259 which is the male coupler. So you need a SMA Female to PL259 adapter. Here is an Amazon link to the correct adapter. RF coaxial coax adapter SMA female to UHF male PL-259 PL259

They're both male and female... the orientation of them is just flipped. If you are making a connector, you need two.

The connector on the antenna directly connects to a Ubiquity Bullet device which has a Type N RF connector. Therefore, the antenna itself has a Type N FEMALE connector. If you want to connect to the antenna with another feed point, you would need an adapter to go from a Type N Male on one end, and your desired adapter on the other end. By the way, this antenna works fantastically with the Bullet, so you only need to feed the Bullet with an Ethernet cable.

You need to purchase the adapter to cover the old mounting holes. Then remove old antenna. New one doesn't go up & down.

Look at the bottom of the TP-Link. Open the small door. Gold colored connector. That is the male RP-SMA connector. Order from Amazon: TP-Link 0.5-Metre 2.4GHz/5GHz Pigtail Cable with N-type Male to RP-SMA Male connector (TL-ANT200PT) and TP-LINK TL-ANT2424B 2.4GHz 24dBi Directional Grid Parabolic Antenna, N Female connector, weather resistant. The connectors are obvious. You have to work out a mast for the antenna yourself. Works great but not magic. You can't make a connection through a mountain for example. Or really dense woods for that matter.

Replace the primary antenna of the two. Yes, the other antenna will also need to stay attached.

If you plan on using your AUX input (if you have one), you will not need any parts. If you wish to use the FM modulator, you will need a male and female antenna adapter kit such as the Metra 40-KI31: METRA 40-KI31 - Antenna Adaptors - ANTENNA ADAPTER FOR FM MODULATOR HYUNDAI / KIA 09-UP

It is a female. Some may think that it is a male because it screws into the radio were the antenna goes. But I can assure you that it is a female. I bought it for a Baofeng UV-5R. Bryan

I have the booster working with no problems with Wilson Electronics Single Band - 800 MHz Yagi Antenna Model Y8009EL with N Female Connector. I connected it with a Wilson Electronics 952375 75-Foot WILSON400 Ultra Low Loss Coax Cable with N Male Connectors. It took a couple of adapter connectors to match everything up. Hope this answers your question.

DEAR UNPAIDBILL: To answer your question on the SMA connector supplied with this antenna is a { female } if you are looking to use this on any of the Baofeng UV5R type radios the SMA Connector input to these radios are { male } see photos showing the duck antenna is a female as well. this antenna is designed for these type of radios and works very well for its size and cost. I hope I have answered your question, DALE/ AMAZON CUSTOMER

The cable that comes with the antenna is RG59 terminated at both ends with F59 connectors. You will need an F female to BNC male adapter which is relatively inexpensive.
