I have a bcd536 and want to put up a antenna in my attic what should I buy that will cover all the frequencies and not break the bank !!!! I will end up using around 60 feet of wire will I need a inline amp or something . thanks
I see it says 7 to 800 MHz will it be good for the lower freq too like a universal antenna for a wide range of freq on the bcd536. Thanks
The ferret is the best antenna I put on my bct15x yet. Does A.M VERY well. VHF is its strongest point. Austin Antenna Ferret Omnidirectional Multiband Base Station Scanner Antenna LMR 400 is the best too.
Well, all I can say in it's defense is last Sunday I ran a long AM search, heard from Bangor Maine to DC. If you check Google earth, from my local, it recieves 1/3 of Mass, 75% of NH, and because of Mt. Aggamenticeus,( in york maine ) limitted to signals from the North by northeast. My last discone from Scanner Master was good, but hard to handle on a roof. All those arms grabbing shingles, reaching out and down. My opinion, ferret is my choice, just cause I had the money, and I was there. I actually paid $240.00 plus $75 for a pro to do the ends of the LMR cable correctly. Cable was $10..Best thing about the Ferret, it slides onto the Radio Shack chimney mount like a glove, just uses up cable..
Wondering if RG-8. Wire. Will work with the ST 2 antenna
