coax cable for tuner, any difference


I have a Creek Tuner with a Magnum #2 antenna. I'd like to place the antenna ~ 100' away in hopes of better reception. Will the extra cable make things worse? Is there any difference in cable quality? Is it worth the effort?
Thanks for any help

Use the lowest loss cable possible. Quad shield RG-6 can be found at just about any "decent" supply house. Even Radio Shack has it or can get it.

In terms of whether or not this will help or hurt your signal depends. While you WILL incurr signal loss due to the longer run of cable, if you can get the antenna up quite a bit higher and out in the open, you'll more than make up for the loss. Sean
