Is there a good scanner preamp out there? I bought one of those coax
inline jobs from RS and it did nothing at all for my BC 245 or my BC

If you are using RG6 cable and a tv amplifier, you are probably not
even making up for the cable and connector losses with the
added amplifier.

If your antenna is unity gain, you actually have a signal LOSS
by the time it gets to your scanners.
