I Rebuilt my Scanner Setup... And It All Went Wrong

In this video, I show step-by-step how I rebuilt my scanner radio and ham radio shack, including power supply options, coax cable choices, antenna connections, audio routing with the Focusrite Scarlett, and computer integration with ProScan.

What’s Covered: Mounting radios with shelves and rubber feet Power supply options (12V power supply, power strips, and CCTV hacks) Coax cable choices (LMR-400 vs RG6) Antenna hookups and multi-couplers Audio routing with USB sound cards and the Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 Data connections with EdgePort serial adapter and null modem cables Software setup with ProScan Chapters are included below for easy navigation, and I’ve also linked all the gear I used so you can build your own shack.
