ok - cool....I will have to look into doing that.
I have one of those huge big 'country' antennas - it might work better than a gutter mount aerial do you think Darren?
Just depends on the conditions Chris. VHF airband is noisy at the best of times. The $40 'Scantenna' etc work well in regards to gaining DB and the RG58 prevents loss of DB (providing you don't have 100's of metres of it). What will you do when you want to watch telly? You may be able to make up some sort of splitter box. Not sure about that one. Really, best thing to do is get the 'Scantenna' from DSE. Install that on the gutter with your RG58, have that run to your scanner and then the scanner into your pc soundcard. Then you will be beaming the signals in. That's what I use. At the end, as long as you have fun playing around then streaming it on the net it's a great achievement mate!
