I've had fairly good results with my BC355N scanner as a base, but due to terrain, can't get county-wide reception. I am raising my discone antenna a bit higher, and have purchased a Ramsey PR2 broadband preamp. The preamp puts out a 20db gain at up to 100mw. Some users have reported what sounds like signal overload to their scanners with this unit. Uniden does not specify max input signal strength for this scanner.
Has anyone used this combo (about a 60' cable run, amp to be mounted 20' down from antenna), or know what the max signal input is for this scanner? I don't want to damage the scanner, or buy a bunch of attenuators I don't need, but I don't have test equipment.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.
