Re: Antenna Question

Hi,

If the coax is good quality RG6 then there is no reason why it can not 
be used for the connection of a outdoor antenna.
Not technically correct as it will be 75 instead of 50 ohms, but for 
receive only it should be fine. Dont run splitters etc for
TV's and the like off the same length of cable however.

Depending on the quality of the dielectric you may experience some 
losses in the higher UHF frequencies.

I cannot comment on an out door antenna except to say the Discone 
appears to be an all round favorite but would
even the discone over load the R2's front end?

Good luck.

Shane.
