I'm using this type (26dB, N Connector) on my balcony (South). It's mounted on a 1m waterpipe, that is "stripped" to the balcony fence. I initially bought a 40dB , but had to change to 26dB , due to too much gain. www.ebay.com/itm/PCTEL-GPS-TMG-26N-26-dB-Internal-Amplifier-Timing- Reference-Antenna-/232037804675 www.ebay.com/itm/Lucent-Datum-KS24019L112C-GPS-26dB-5V-Antenna-Telecom- Timing-N-Conn-Andrews-NEW-/361510967153 I use a Tbolt, that have 75ohm impedance , and am using about 25m quad shielded 75 ohm , quality sattelite cable from the balcony to the Tbolt. I'm using a N-->F adapter at the antenna end, that makes it super easy to make a diy F-->F connector cable. I now have installed a quad active antenna splitter (50ohm) , using the same 75ohm cable , and a F-->N adapter at the splitter end. And see no noticable problems using 75ohm cable there.
