LMR400 routed into the shack to the main transceiver. Curious how others
have implemented a semi-elegant solution for using these antennas with FCD+
or other dongle requiring an SMA connection.
I know how to do it clumsily, I?m interested in learning how you're doing
that nicely?

Hi Jeff, I use a thin, flexible jumper with SMA male into SDR and other end
is either N-female or SO-239. Cheap on eBay or pretty easy to make.

I may be opening Pandora's Box, but I would like to ask the BB for their
best source(s) for LMR400UF cable. I will need two cables (N to N and PL259
to PL259) approx. 75 ft. long.
Thanks for help.

You can also find the adapter cable that has a female N connector to the
male SMA. Keeps you from needing an N barrel connector.

A good source that has more than just cable is kf7p.com. From grounding
equipment to all kinds of cable.
The other one I have used is thewireman.com

I thought the manual for the M2 antenna specifically warned about this.
That the feed line should droop off the back?? Last time I monkeyed up
with antennas, I even made this change.? Not sure if this made a
difference, though, as I had another issue that turned out to be my real
problem.
