Would just like some advise on a good quality discone antenna and what cable should be used? Will a pre amp be helpful?
Cheers
Guys

Do you particularly want a discone? A vertical dual band VHF/UHF amateur antenna would probably do a better job especially if you plan on doing a lot of VHF/UHF listening.Hi Def wrote:Would just like some advise on a good quality discone antenna and what cable should be used?

Otherwise any of the few radio shops stock discones and go for RG213 cable for longer runs or you can get by with RG58 if its a short run. Benelec make a reasonable quality cable. Naturally there is a lot more expensive cables but it will depend on you budget.
Also the purists will suggest you avoid RG58 totally but for a short run up to 10 metres will work fine.

Do you have a particular antenna that you would suggest R ? Cable run will be no longer than 15 to 20M

If it's a genuine mistake, I apologise.
However, if you're spamming, you'll be reported.

Cheers Phantom, I'd normally just report him straight away, due to the fact that it was a spam first post, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
