[time-nuts] trimble antenna connector

[Robert Atkinson]

Hi

Trimble recommend 75R CATV or similar cable for the Thunderbolt as it's lower loss (even with the mismatch loss to 50R it's an advantage), hence the F type plugs. Adaptors are cheap and available even here in the UK where the F type is a fairly new entry into the market. Using 75R cable with F plugs is even easier.

why do older  thunderbolts use an F connector for the antenna? (the
current version uses a BNC).
It seems like it needlessly complicates installation at a base station.

I've always wondered this.
