Well, in your previous post you stated that "You will hardly notice any loss..."

That implies that one WILL notice...


Loser! You should quote correctly -not destroying the content- 'tard.
A 50 ohm AirComm-plus cable costs three times as much as a lowloss 75
ohm TV-cable with the same loss.
And it gives pretty much the same results -if not better- on a broadband
antenna like a discone on consumer grade VHF/UHF-receivers wich do not
have a straight 50-ohm impedance. In most cases it varies between 30 and
150 ohms depending on the frequency you are receiving. So there is a
good chance a 75 ohm cable works even better than a 50 ohm cable with
the same loss. In worst case you will have an impedance mismatch loss of
3dB, but in most cases you will have a 3dB win depending on the scanner
you are using and frequency you are receiving.
There are few scannists who would buy or can afford a 0,70 US$/ft cable
for a 100ft run. So a good (lowloss!) TV-cable is really worth a try.

You need to re-learn Eisenhower's law.

How many years has it been since you've had your ass kicked?

Don't make Curtis come pay you a visit.

I think you meant Godwin's Law, but that's the first thing I thought
of too.
