Duh.  I mean N, not BNC.  The only weak point is the TNC and coax (and
my ability to crimp it.  :-)  I added a BNC to one of the D-Link cards
for testing.  The antennas all have N-type connectors.

I am wondering if inside the roof is going to be cooler than in a box
(plastic) on the antenna.  I'm concerned about temperatures which
don't hit freezing in my attic or above 100 (guessing, I need a
thermometer up there).   A box outside will freeze which may affect
some of the components.  There's also the rapid temperature changes we
experience here.
