Here's what I want to accomplish to use a roof-mount antenna with my Pro-163 scanner:
-First, I have a 50' RG8/U cable that I will run from the antenna down to my house.
-Next what I want to do is use an adapter to convert RG8/U (with type N connectors) to RG6, then use the existing RG6 cabling in my house to terminate the cable to where I want the scanner to go.
-From the RG6 termination, I will connect a cable to the outlet (on the other end is RG59 or BNC, which will connect to the scanner).
What will the impedence mismatch do to the signal from the antenna to the scanner?
