@Einstein - Since @TimeFlipper seems to have bowed out of this topic for now, I was wondering if you could give me some advice as to picking out a couple of items. They're both on Amazon, and the links to them are as follows: Amazon.com: JX RF coaxial Coax Adapter N Male to UHF Female SO-239 SO239 PL259 Connector (E Each 1pcs): Home Audio & Theater & Amazon.com: CablesOnline , 20ft RG8x Coax UHF (PL259) Male/Male 50 ohm Antenna Cable , R-U020: Home Audio & Theater.
Hoping you are able to open the links on your browser, you might be able to tell me whether or not these items are a good match for connecting the CB radio to the magnetic mount. In case you are not able, the first item is made up of UHF male and female adapters and N male and female adapters, four items total. The second item is a 20-foot-long coax cable with 2 UHF male adapters, each attached on either end of the cable. I assume I'm on the right track, but I'm not 100% sure.
Please also refer to this post and this earlier one so you'll have a clearer idea of what I'm talking about.
Once I purchase what I need, I'll need to find someone who works in my area to 1. disconnect one of the male adapters on the cable, 2. connect a female adapter where the disconnected male adapter used to be, 3. disconnect my old coax cable from the magnetic mount, 4. connect the new 20-foot coax cable to the mount, 5. drill a metal plate onto my roof, and 6. place the mount with one end of the coax cable attached onto the metal plate on the roof. Which occupation would be the right person to get this job done?
Any other advice necessary?
