Hello all...
I purchased a Uniden BCT-15 scanner (and will move to a digital once I get this down). I live on the 12th floor of a hi-rise. Oddly enough, my local police station is across the street, yet behind where my unit faces.
My shack would be in a room with windows facing South and East. The fun stuff is SW of me, on the other side of the building. I do not have access to the roof. Even if I did, I don't know how I would get 10 more stories of cable down.
Any suggestions on what to replace the stock metal telescopic antenna with and where I might mount the thing?? From what I have read, my height isn't an advantage unless I'm transmitting. Are there any other factors that would affect my experience?
