RG-213 is fully catered for, I bought the roll off Geoff at the swap meet, I'm still trying to work out the best way to get it going up into the roof space. Do I mount an N-type and SO-239 in my ceiling and the eves with a line of coax for each and then I use shorter leads up to my ceiling from the radio and like wise from the eves board to the antenna? Can draw pretty pictures at work tomorrow if you don't follow. Bearing in mind also that it is dad's house so the easier it is to band aid the better. Oh and plus a plug of sorts for a rotator in the future or I'll just push the lines all the way through. Unfortunately not an awful lot of high things on our roof apart from the TV and scanner antenna's. If I can sort the mount for my ceiling and outside then I'll remove the scanner antenna and use that pole as a temporary mount for it, that way the scanner antenna doesn't interfere with the slightly more important antenna.

Try to make the co-ax run continuous i.e no joiners.
