    Cheaper alternative to the st-2 antenna ?

    I'm new to RTL-SDR and I live about 11miles (16km) from Heathrow Airport in London. My apartment is on the 3rd floor of a building, and I am facing in the direction of the airport. Many people mention that its hard to hear the Control Tower (unless you actually go to Heathrow). However...

    ST-2 antenna

    The stock cable RG-59 that comes with the antenna has f-connectors. The F - BNC adapter is supplied is bad. I tried to replaced it with Amphenol 242154, but the center cable is to thick for the adapter center hole. Looking for an adapter that would work.

    Direction of ST-2 antenna

    Hello, I currently listen to a RS PRO-163 that is linked to a Scantenna ST-2 mounted to the side of my house. I do monitor the Mass State Police 800MHz Motorola trunking system with this setup, and many times the reception quality is quite poor and full of static. I live approx 45 miles from...

    Running Two Scanners off of a ST-2 Antenna

    Hello. I have searched the forum and found information about using a splitter to run two scanners off of one antenna and from what I understand, doing this causes a db loss. I have an AntennaCraft ST2 on the roof. What I am wondering is if I can run two coax cables from the antenna? I was...
