I am in need of adding antenna cable to go outside. My rig's current location disallows antenna aiming toward the south/southwest as the manual states due to trees being in the way.

My concern is I have an RG-6 (50 ft) run available to me but the antenna connector with the XRT12 is not an F-type connector.

Any thoughts? I do not want to run another cable through the wall (RG-6 is already) so the 50 ft extension cable is out.

    These guys have F plug adapters.

    You also might be interested in the Terk XM6 Antenna. Its an exterior antenna

    Hope that helps

    Started poking a little more after I opened this thread. It seems that the Terk XM6 has the required adaptor. I might get the signal booster as well and add another 50' run to get the antenna to a much better site.

    Thanks for the reply!
