Hi, all. I wanted to get some feedback on my feed here: Collin County Law Enforcement
The digital channels sound great of course, but the analog county signal still has a lot of noise in it. I'm currently using this antenna with a cookie sheet as the ground plane and about 50 feet of RG-174 (SMA) cable. I'm only about 10 miles from the county's antenna farm, but I have a first-floor apartment and a couple medium size trees between me and them.
Considering my location restrictions, what would you recommend?
Do you think a discone antenna such as this is likely to improve the analog reception? http://www.amazon.com/Scanner-Amate...d=1430749223&sr=8-12&keywords=scanner+antenna
Would a higher grade cable be the answer?
Or do I just need to move?
Thanks in advance!
