Other part of the question was about the type F connectors. They are easy to install IF you have some experience doing this sort of thing or someone helpful to guide you in person initially. Those experienced in cable terminating can eyeball this easily even if a type F has never been done. However you do need a crimp tool for the jacket. These may be available from Radio Shack; don't know for sure & don't know the cost either?
Antenna cable
On Fanfare's Web site they offer to sell different lengths of antenna wire in both RG6/U and RG59/U. (I have no clue what these RG "codes" stand for.) It is noted that the RG6/U cable is quad shielded. EX. RG6/U quad-shield coaxial cable c/w F connectors(50') $39.95

I went to Radio Shacks Web page and they have the following, RG-6/U Coaxial Cable $ 0.32 ft.

Is this the same stuff? Is the cable from RS also "quad shielded"?
The RS is w/o connectors, are the connectors difficult to install?
