I have an old Antennacraft ST2 scanner antenna I finally got around to setting up inside in the attic. I am using a whistler 1098 scanner and just looking to get good clear local signals, not looking to pull in far, far away signals. Just the extended local stuff, but the scanner is next to routers and computer equipment, so it might need shielding.
My house has some cable wire in the wall already and the wall plates for cable TV. i could use them to pull through new cable to the attic, the run would be about 75-100'. I also have a compression tool for putting the ends on the cable tv wire.
Can anyone recommend what cable and connections would be most economical for a ~100' run to go from the scanner to the antenna?
I'd like to use the existing wall plates if possible, just looking for a clean looking, painless install that will work better than the little antenna that came with the scanner.
