left is 14" the other 2 were a 24" that was damaged that I cut into 2 so 1 is 12" the other is 11"
They are universal C. If you take the case of the 15X, 996P2 or 536hp the C-EB25-MMT-1P fits perfect

Nice setup, wondering if your scanners have a color code (red = fire, blue = police, etc)? I just make them all different for the cool look. What I use the scanners for changes all the time

One is my 7550e UHF and the other is a friends. Everything is RX only I have a scanner antenna, 2 800mhz antennas, 1 UHF and 1 VHF antenna 60 feet up with 5 runs of 70 feet of LMR400. all go to multi couplers

I tested View attachment 107883and going from the antenna to the radio or with the no loss multi coupler= No difference
E-Bay $25

Love your setup! What fittings are these? Cable TV connections? If so are you running different coax in to them and then using an adapter to make the connection? Thanks!

I run 70' of LMR400 to an 8 way no loss TV splitter then from the splitter to the scanners.
I tested with the LMR400 directly to a scanner and with the no loss splitter and there is no difference in RX
I'm picking up NYC PD & FD 65 miles away with the splitter
For the radios I have 4- 40' runs of LMR 400 2-800 1 UHF & 1 VHF to the same type no loss splitters, all the radios are remote mounted in the basement to shorten the cable run

Beautiful setup and explanation of the equipment. Do you have pictures of the cables and the antennas?

 

[Firebuff66]

Just finished remoting all my scanners 30 feet closer to the antenna. Still WIP but getting there

What coax do you use from the splitter to the radios ? I was going to get some LMR 200 for jumpers..

Are you running audio from your BCT15x's to your PC and if so how are you doing it? I'm trying to get audio to the PC for recording with Proscan but having a hard time. I have (2) 15x's connected with USB to Serial RS232 adapters but I'm guessing the adapter doesn't carry audio. I tried connecting from the recording jack on the 15x to the line in on the PC, but still no audio.

You would need to use the record or speaker output, yes.

Then on Windows you have to set the desired input.
