Coax Cable

[Darrell]

I know there has been some discussion on what type of Coax Cable to use from the antenna to the base station. I am going to need about 100Ft to be safe from my outside antenna to the base station. I was at Radio Shack today and the tech  thinks I should use RG-6. It is 75 OHMS and he thinks I won't have much signal lost.
So what does everyone else think?

50 Ohms cable is better in my opinion

RG-6 is a good choice.  Given the large bandwidth of a scanner, the impedance match would rarely be 50 ohms.  RG-6 is a good, low-loss, quality shielded cable for a good price.  The difference between that and 50 ohm cable would be hard for someone to even measure.

I have RG-6 for my 50 foot wiring, radioshack also reccomended them to me...

I am not sure if you can notice loss with 100 feet though, thats double my length...  My 50 foot works great for me, no noticeable loss heard

I also use RG-6 50 FT all the way to the coax splitter. after the splitter i couldnt tell you what it is.

I am trying Andrews LDF 550 7/8 inch Heliax  loss seems pretty low
