My antenna is active and it uses 5 volts.  I tried 2 different mushroom type 
antennas with pipe mounts and ironically a magnet mount. Automotive antenna 
outperforms it even with several feet of RG 174 cable.  Go figure??Sent from my

Re: Stability question I suppose you could do a split type distribution of the 
conversion functions, but it may be simpler to just add some more gain at L1 
with an in-line amplifier - preferably close to the far (antenna) end. You'd 
have to work out how to provide the DC power for it, like taking some 5V supply 
current off the line, and passing the rest to the LNA at the antenna.If your 
existing antenna is passive (no LNA right at it), then that's the first thing 
to do - get an amplified type. Presuming it is already a typical amplified 
type, then adding another gain stage at the right spot can make up for a lot of 
cable loss.Ed_______________________________________________time-nuts mailing
