Works perfectly, but . . . . . |

I bought this to connect a Delphi SkyFiII to a Terk outdoor XM antenna. The antenna has a coax connection and comes with an adapter to plug this cable into. A rubber boot (provided) covers the connection from the cable to the adapter to the antenna. The issue is the cable-to-adapter connection is a slip fit - and it slips. I tried using coax all the way into the house, but had no signal strength when it was all said and done. So, I used a 3' RG6 coax to get the slip-fit connection to a place I could protect it and take any wind or other stress that would make it come apart out of the picture. I know you have to limit how much coax you use because the signal goes away in a hurry, but 3' resulted in no signal loss. After all that, everything was perfect. I then added an XM signal repeater and that was icing on the cake. The whole package is fantastic - I just don't like the slip-fit connection on an outdoor antenna. Maybe should have researched a coax-compatible amplifier, but in the end, this is working, so . . . . .we're happy. |

It does what it is supposed to do |
This item really doesn't rate a review but here it is anyway.
It works as an antenna lead extension and does the job I wanted it to do.
It is too bad that XM Radio uses proprietary things for all its radios but it is the way of the world we live in. |

connector problem |
|
I have a TAO XM2GO receiver and wanted to add an external antenna to not have the wire for the internal antenna in my way all the time. So I bought an XM6 roof antenna (TERK) and what was said to be a cable for XM Home Receivers (XM-EXT50) also by Terk. One gets no options or explanations as to what fits where and the cable will not connect to the XM6 if I use the other end to plug into the Tao. I either need a connector conversion plug or a different cable but who knows what that might be. I now find out the TAO isn't even being sold anymore. Nothing but trouble with all this electronic stuff being replaced every time yu turn around. |

Works great |

This was just what I was looking for. I had it hooked up and ready to use in around 5 minutes! |

Very good product |

Works great, nice clean signal. Like the other reviewer, I too had an issue with a 90 degree connection. But since it's indoors, it really doesn't matter if the rubber boot covers the connector. |
