Hello,
Have a new Uniden BCD 436 hand held scanner.
Goes up to beyond 800 MHz, apparently.
Have a Scantenna in the attic, which I used many, many years
ago for a scanner I had then.
Not sure what kind of coax I ran from it, as it's all thru the walls, and I'm a bit on
the elderly side now to be climbing around and looking.
But, it's a fair guess, that it was a high quality coax, and picked for low-loss.
Terminates in my living room into a wall jack.
Question: for my new 436, I would like to hook into the wall jack to use
the attic Scantenna.
So, I guess I am looking for recommendations for what coax to buy for
this extension (wall jack to unit)..
Run would be about 15 feet from the wall jack to the handheld scanner, allowing
me some convenience in moving the scanner around while I'm sitting in a chair.
Also, this coax extension would have to be very small, and flexible;
*a Very small diameter wire.
And, of course, low loss for this 15 feet (up to 800 MHz +).
Suggests would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob
