I have a preamp close to my antenna, and my multicoupler would be right next to my scanner(s). Is it still worth paying for the active option?
Here is my setup:
Antenna on the roof, RG8X down into the house, preamp, and into my office with my scanners. I would install the multicoupler within feet of the scanners. Isn't my preamp already doing all the work that an active multicoupler would do? Plus the active feature would only really be useful at the antenna end, if I understand the theory correctly.
