Simple way to get cable...

I also have a high pitched squeal that is just audible enough to be annoying. It seems to come and go.

It looks like the side panels are plastic so I guess the unit isn't that old.

Here are some pics.
You use a simple antenna distribution box, like RS used to carry under the Archer name. It has a center pair for input 300 ohm twinlead and 4 outputs the same. It is unpowered and usually had a piece of adhesive tape on it to attach it anywhere. All you need now is a 75 to 300 ohm balun to go in and you can run wires from two of the outputs for U and VHF or spend a few dollars more for a splitter instead with 300 ohm outputs. Depends on what you have lying around.
