I'm reading a lot on this forum about the importance of using low loss cable and keeping the cable to the base antenna as short as possible. For me, it's tough to do this because my roof peak is tall and my scanner is on the first floor, a long way from the outdoor antenna. There's just no way of routing a short cable (less than 70 feet with lots of couplers) between the two.
I'm not sure how to say this.......Does anybody have a setup where a scanner is permanently located up high in the house, maybe up in the attic, just to keep the cable between the scanner and antenna as short as possible......(say 20 feet) .....and then some sort of a wireless interface / repeater lets you remotely control and listen to the scanner from the first floor?
Thanks
