Hi guys,
I don't know much about antennas, so I'm sorry if this seems like a strange question...
I'm moving into a new home, that has a VHF / UHF TV antenna attached to the roof. I'm wondering...can I plug that into my scanner to get reception on VHF and UHF fire and police bands? The line conveniently runs right into the room I want to place my radios in...we're not going to use the line for television reception, as we'll have cable TV.
So what I'm asking is, is this possible? Or will I get poor or no reception?
For an idea on target frequency, I'm primarily looking to receive 154.430 and frequencies around that.
Thanks in advance, guys.
