Is the impedance of the antenna input 50 ohm, or 75 ohm?

I don't now the impedance, but the genuine antenna is working best. This is a great dialer.

It seems more flexible than CATV RG6 to me. That could be due to the dielectric used. It's audio cable. Should be 75 ohms.

From what I remember it's @30'. It's possible to extend it a short amount with high quality RG6 coax. You'll need TNC to F adapters & you must use the length of the supplied coax in order to maintain the 50 ohm impedance that the transceiver needs.

As far as I understand, there is no difference. The 80 indicates the 80 ohm impedance.

50 feet of RG-6 with "F" connectors on both ends. The antenna is 300 ohms, which is connected to a 300 to 75 ohm bauln.

Yes, if the screw connectors are labeled something like "300 ohm". If it is labeled "AM", then you need something like this: RCA Matching Transformer to connect to the 75 ohm F connector. These are available here or anywhere that sells electronics. Hope this helps.

FYI - Impedance matching is the resistive value measured in Ohms. For instance, most speakers have an impedance value of either 4 or 8 Ohms. Headphones can have an impedance value of up to 600 Ohms. Improper impedance mismatching can cause anything from poor quality sound to irreversible equipment damage/failure. Experiment at your own risk or get help from a friend that understands these electronic principles.

RG-6 is 72 0hm coax, the booster input & output impeadance is 52 ohm, I use Belden 9913 low loss cable to the outdoor antenna & RG-58A/U to the indoor antenna. Both Cables are 52 ohm, the connectors on the booster are type N which would be very hard to use the TV foil shielded coax with.Box works very good with correct antennas & coax. Drew

Sorry, it is set up for 75 ohms. I have RG-6 TV coax connected to my antenna to feed a cell phone repeater.

If the antenna connection is the standard1/8 inch plug, I would think it would work with no problems. If I am not mistaken it is 75 ohms.

No. A Ham radio system will "look" for a 50 ohm match at the transceiver. TV/Cable coax is 75 ohm. You can use it, but the radio will not be happy about it and probably result in high SWR. However if it is a receive only application you are fine.

Don't know about ohms, i just plugged in the antenna they sent with it. Really long cord, drilled a little hole in the wall and plugged it in.

if you buy the kit it comes with 75 ohm RG6 cable. best of luck. i am very happy with the results

I couldn't say exactly, but the antenna that comes with the booster has a 50' cord and seems to work well.

50. But using amateur 75-ohm antennas will not noticeably degrade performance.
