Hi. Thanks in advance for reading this message.
I have a BCD996XT on its way to me, but I have a bit of a dilemma.
I would like to have the scanner near my desk, so I can reach it, but I'm worried that the interference from nearby computers, monitors, and other electrical equipment will affect its ability to pick anything up. I would like to extend the antenna away from all of that stuff and put it near a window.
What is the best way to do that?
Is it as simple as buying a length of cable, attaching the stock antenna on one end and the scanner on the other end? If so, what sort of cable / adapters do I need to buy? If not, could someone point me in the correct direction?
Most of the frequencies I want to monitor are between 100 and 200, but I understand our county is going digital on 1/1/13.
Once again, I appreciate you reading this message, and I would be more than grateful for an answer.
Thanks,
Ray.
