Trying to put a outdoor permanent antenna on the house but all my 50 ohm coax is cheap and junk, Not to mention short. (So are the antennas' they came from.) Only decent strand I have is RG-58/U-95 Foam and that is used for my transciever. Now, I do have a LONG run of cable television coax that is 75 ohm I believe. I have no idea what type or brand, It's not printed on the sleeve. It came from Time Warner years ago when they were still in Houston. It looks and feels stout. Total run should only be about 50 ft. if that long. I do plan on putting an amp to kind of off set the loss. I would like to receive 800MHz and all bands the PRO-164 supports. Also, what would be a "good" antenna for this? All I have currently is a 3 ft. whip on a spring.
Yes, I have that much time on my hands to want to listen to all of them periodicly.
(It helps when momma wants to hear other states and local PD. Really helps when she wants to get on SSB and run skip. Wait until I get my amature radio license. )
