If there's nothing but coax between the antenna and the scanner, this will
work fine.
On the other hand, make sure there aren't any signal splitters between the
antenna and radio. Such splitters are designed to work only over the
television signal frequency range, which is considerably narrower than the
R2's receive range. If you happen to be listening to VHF FM, or TV audio
signals, this is fine, but signals below or substantially above the TV
broadcast range may not make it through the splitter.
