Hello all, i live in carson city, and i run a Bc-780xlt, with a VHF-hi outdoor antenna 20 feet off the ground. My question is i want to receive more, such as LMU (cdf) Inyo nf, Eldorado nf, and Plumas nf. Does anyone have any idea how i could get those? What about a discone?

A discone will have worse performance than your VHF-Hi antenna (unless the VHF-Hi is in very bad shape).

Several things, one or more of which will be needed:

Higher gain antenna
Directional antenna
more antenna height
better coax between the antenna and the scanner

and most importantly,
a signal path between the transmitter and the receiver
which may be your biggest, and insurmountable problem.
