I recently got a outdoor antenna to improve reception
it looks like one of those old tv antennas that would go on top of your house but its made for scanners supposedly is good for 25 - 1300mhz...
It came with a 50 foot RG 6 coax cable which is 75 ohms
i have a uniden BC355n and in the owners manual it says when connecting a outdoor antenna use a 50-70 ohm coax cable i also have a old radio shack scanner which says to use a RG 8 or RG 58 50 ohm coax cable which seems to be hard to come by seems like most of the coax cables sold are RG 6
being that those 2 scanners in question are outdated is the 50 ohm just a recommendation in regards to a older setup? or will using the RG6 which is 75 ohms and not a 50 - 70 ohm cause problems?
i have been reading up on this matter and what im getting is basically the RG8 will give better reception
I briefly tested the antenna out on the BC355n and seemed to work well with no problems - audio was much clearer on all signals and frequencys that would never come in with the stock telescoping antenna came in which is what was expected
what im thinking is what they mean by the 50 - 70 ohm thing is NOT LESS THAN 50 - 70 ohm i could be wrong...
also im sorry i posted this in general i didn't realize there was a place particular for antennas/coax cables and the like... i kinda figured there was just couldn't find it
