If you run a cable from your local satelite dish then I think you would pick it up on your uniden bearcat :) .

Nah not necessarily. Many amateurs have had success talking to the ISS with nothing more than a handheld!

can not plug in to satellite dish as need voltage to power the lnb and to control the system antenna polarity. ie 13 volts /22 volts. to pick up satellites broadcasting this type of signal try a heliax or circular polarized antenna as the signal polarization in varied by the ionospere etc
