So recently the reception to my scanner has been horrible, I'm using an old radioshack 36" magnet mount antenna on a cookie sheet placed up high in the corner of the room. I live in an apartment so an outdoor antenna is not possible.
Anyway upon inspection I accidentally pulled the antenna out of it base and behold the coax is drawing in the signal, there's no difference when the antenna is plugged in.
Is the antenna done for? Is there a fix of any kind?
Thanks in advance.
(footnote: tested it on several scanners with the same results)
