Re: Re: antenna question

Thanks for the reply, Dave. This is great info.  Could you clarify what you mean by "If there's nothing but coax between the antenna and the scanner"  You mean other devices? Splitters?

Also, I wanted to ask one more question and that is:  Can you also use the pre-wire house coax to bring in signal from a random or long wire copper antenna for sortwave?

The ICr2 covers shortwave and I wonder  if the signal could be brought up cleanly into the house that way.

Thanks a lot,

Amir

  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.
