I was looking for a wide-range scanner antenna for my 2nd NMO mount. (I previously just used a trunking-specific 800 Mhz antenna.) I looked at several brands but most were pretty tall. I wanted to keep it as short as possible. I went with the Laird Scanner antenna: http://www.wpsantennas.com/abscanc-ante ... black.aspx It's only 20" tall. (The link is for the black, non-spring model.) I am very impressed with the performance. Now, my airband traffic is full-quieting. Most of the major trunking sites around the core Seattle area have a full signal. I can even reach Tacoma/Everett (although it's a bit scratchy.) For the price, it's hard to beat. I'll post a picture later today. |

Antenex was brought out by Laird. The Antenex name has now all but gone away. We use them for their mobile antennas exclusively as they seem to last the longest... |

I second Joey's nomination, I use the Comtelco antenna and love it. |
