Would really appreciate your help with connecting an external antenna to my HT. My goal is to connect several family members that live close together. We’ve done a test and can reach (barely) with a NA-771G antenna outside (2.15 db Gain). I figure if I can get a better antenna and mount it higher we may get better reception. I’ve read that I should put BNC connectors on the radios thus the extra complication. Here is what I think the configuration should be but I have limited knowledge so could be going down the wrong path. Also, if you could provide links to purchase the Pigtail and BNC connector I would appreciate it. Should the BNC connector be right angle?
1. Antenna - Ed Fong GMRS Antenna with N connector (assuming this is Female) – 5db Gain
2. Coax - 25 feet LMR400 Coax with N connector (male) – have DX engineering build the cable
3. Pigtail – N Female to BNC Male
4. BNC Connector – BNC Female to SMA Female - Right Angle?
5. Radio – Wouxon 805G with SMA Male
