This is my first post on here and im lookin to get into the hobby of scanners, the setup im looking at is a uniden BCT8 with a radio shack 20-176 antenna mounted outside on a railing. I know this is a pretty basic starter unit but how will this sound for me?? what range could i expect, it will only be up about 12 feet or so from the ground. I've heard others say that the radio shack 20-176 is a great antenna for the price (25.00), so i plan to have about $200 into the whole unit. like i said, just a starter unit.
Also what would be my best bet for grounding that antenna mounted to a wooden porch post?? 8' gound pole???
