[IRCA] CCrane Twin-Coil Ferrite Loop

[Les Rayburn <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Continuing this thread. I have some questions:

1.) The connecting cables that CCrane sells look similar to a computer 
cable (PS2?) Is there a less expensive source for these?

2.) Has anyone ever tried mounting one outside, perhaps on a small 
television rotor? Being a high-Q tuned device these should perform quite 
well if you can get them away from local noise sources.

3.) Are the loop unit and cable weather-proofed?

While they won't work with SDR wideband techniques, I'm thinking about 
adding one for the receiver in the bedroom.
