Radio scanning

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Mon Oct 10, 2005 3:46 am

I got myself a scanner that picks up a bit of frequencies. I've found some police frequencies to listen to and also a list of frequencies that I programmed. The problem is that it doesn't recieve very well, especially in my basement where I spend most of my time. Any tips?

Put an antenna and route it downstairs with an amp and some coax

Not an option for him

When I was a kid I shimmied up a streetlight across the street and attached the other end of a 50ft wire to make a nice shortwave antenna to my second story window.
I disconnected it during thunderstorms...

Connect the arial to the earth connection in a plug.

go to the nearest radiator or pipe, scratch off some paint and connect the antenna to that. thatll make pretty much your whole house a receiver :icon14:
