Anyone know where to get a DIRECTIONAL 800 MHZ YAGI that will pick up a system about 40 miles away?
And For A Decent Price?

Thanks!

Thanks! I completely overlooked that thread! Somehow! I'm hearing a part of the statewide AWIN system from here, Well my district, However I am interested in hearing the next district over due to a friend being dispatcher. I can't get it at all on my Scantena. I even tried my directional 800 mhz tv antenna, That wouldn't work either, So I got a handheld 800 mhz antenna and it will pull them in at about 20 % signal. I got my mobile mag mount on the patio on a pie pan and it pulls them in anywhere from 20% to 80%, I was hearing them last night on it, So I suspect that yagi in that thread will work Great! I may order one shortly to put on my tower with my collection. If I do I'll be sure to post pics and results for you guys to see. Thanks Again!
