Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

RE: Sending AM signals down the house' FM coax?! feasible?

Hi Timbo,

Interesting project. What you plan to do seems OK - however, as you probably know, you should try to match impedances on both ends to the 75 ohm coax as close as possible. Suggest you do a web search on "homebrew remote (or mast mounted) low frequency preamps" and see what you find. I'd certainly try a 300ohm balun on the receiver side. Of course the other signals on the cable will take a sensitivity hit but hopefully that will be un-noticeable.

O yeah, what does the manufacturer of the powered antenna you plan to buy recommend?? Must have a "receiver side" power box - how does that "send out" the signal to a receiver? - maybe all the work is done inside it!!!
