I am using an old baby monitor as a "repeater" for my Pro-2006 connected to my outside antenna.
I used these instructions for my baby monitor just FYI:
Convert the Fisher-Price Baby Monitor into a Repeater This works quite well and the old Fisher-Price model 157 monitors are available on ebay.
What I want to do is make a simple 1/4 wave dipole antenna for the baby monitor. Currently the monitor has a rubber duck style antenna attached to the board with a screw.
So if I make a simple dipole to run up the wall I would connect the lead going up the wall to the place on the board where the duck antenna was..
The question is where do I connect the wire running down the wall? It's an all plastic case and runs on 110 volts.
I assume there is a ground somewhere on the board which would make sense to connect the down wire to.
Oh and don't worry, I will be VERY careful to not have a hot 110 volt wire running up my wall. LOL
