I've got my 208H rigged up to a power supply so I can use it in my home. I currently just have a mag mount antenna that I set near the window, nothing fancy at all. I'd like to rig up something simple outside. My desk is near the cold air intake for the furnace room, so I can run coax outside easily. I do not want a large antenna or tower. I would like to use maybe a 5 or 6 foot tall antenna mounted to the top of the fence post. Run coax down the post and inside. Would that work? Does something like that need to be grounded? It would be about 2' away from the side of my house and way below the roofline, is the reception going to be poor?
