resonate Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Hello All, I'm thinking about adding this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300441519823 antenna to my micron SDA 214-1 splitter/amplifier setup. All of my wireless (Micron, Audio LTD) are in the CH69-70 frequency range. 1) is it okay that the antenna works up to 960 Mhz range? Will the micron SDA 214-1 amplify only the range that it works in? (833-865 Mhz) I wonder because all of the cellular towers start at 870 Mhz in Poland and use 900-960 band also. Would it be better to have a yagi that works within Ch69,70 only? 2) i am planning to use extender male SMA->N female panel connector cables to attach them to the bag (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300380267074?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/N-male-N-male-plug-pigtail-semi-rigid-cable-RG402-/300486126120?pt=UK_Computing_Boosters_Extenders_Antennas&hash=item45f65e6a28), so i can switch between coax dipoles and a higher gain antenna like the yagi above, as long as the connectors are ok, the loss at the connectors is neglible,right? Thanks for your attention, Bartosz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonG Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Your antenna will be susceptible to all the frequencies that it operates in. If you want better isolation, you need a more narrow band antenna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 yagi's are more narrow band than LPDA's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundtrane Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 try LINTEC and see if they have a more acute Yagi on offer for your purpose... [google lintec antennas] i guess you should expect some loss in your extender as well as your connectors, but all negligible. ymmv, of course.

resonate Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Thanks All, Tanky @ Micron said that with SDA filtering (823-865) I should be fine... I think i'll take a bite. I looked at Lintec, but this chinese baby is only 25cm long, and very inexpensive. Maybe it could hide in the battery compartment of my petrol!
