Hello,
As a freelancer to location sound I use wireless tech with the BSRF antenna distro with Lectro gear. I picked up an RF Explorer in order to understand radio tech better as evidently I have a lot to learn. I have heard that I need to be careful when using this tech as not to overload the front end.
My question is this: is it safe to connect my BSRF distro to the SMA on the RF Explorer in order to do a scan on the antennas I use? Maybe directly connecting a sharkfin? Let's take my BSRF for example..
Listed on the below link I can see on the specs for the BSRF, the output specs state 50ohms. Do I also need to check that the current of 150mA factors in? This is my problem, I don't know where to start in terms of interpreting the specs. I've read the manual info on this, but I got lost with the metrics. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm a little embarrassed to ask because this telegraphs how little I know, but I want to be safe as I begin to learn without destroying any equipment along the way. Thanks in advance for your answers.
