Default Replacing com antennas

Mike: Does your new antenna have a BNG terminal.? I've been told that
is the way to go instead of a separate coax ground wire. Maybe I'm
confused what you have.

Hi Larry. I think what is on the end of the coax is called a male bnc
connector.

Hi Mike,

Just as a point of clarification for all (not specifically aimed at you...):

BNC: A "cam-lock" style connector needing only about 1/4 turn to lock in
place via curved channels that ride down pins on the opposite connector.

UHF: 1/4" to 1/2" diameter threaded connector which needs multiple turns to
screw into place.

One of these two types of connectors are usually what you'll find at the end
of a Coaxial cable. The UHF connectors of the world have pretty much been
replaced by BNC connectors, but you still find UHF on older wiring.
