Hope I am placing this in the correct area :)


Anyone have suggestions on what adapters to use to go from RP-TNC to

N male or female?


I already have a few surplus 2.4G antennas, both vertical and BBQ dish

type that I aqcuired back when HSMM was trying to get going about 10

years ago. Never did anything with them and still sitting here in storage

for a good use.


Otherwise, I will just use the stock antennas for now.


Considering putting one mesh node up in the attic and then seeing about

tunnelling that to one of the other groups. Way I figure, if its up and doing

something other than gathering dust, it may generate interest.

If you then need N-Female, get a N Fem->Fem adapter.

Sometimes I have seen them at swapfests, the vendors who have bins of different NEW connectors.

Thanks.


I should have asked when I posted about any issues that using adapters

might have when interfacing or should I just remove the connectors there

now and replace with SMA or N's and be done with it.


I usually am playing up at 10.386.1 GHZ and have found when  I try to use

one of the generic adapters, I have huge attenuation when I put them inline.


I was wondering if that is the same issue or not at 2.4G? I know milage varies

with quality.
