Default Which antenna do you recommend?

Just curious, I need a new antenna for my pro-106 as my old one is falling apart and can't pick up a signal very well. I need one for fairly cheap, around $30 and one that picks up 800MHz really good. I am in Washington county so sometimes its tough to pick up some of the interesting things. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have had decent success using the radio Shack 800MHz antenna:

Thanks jdstei2.

That's exactly what the last 6 posts were referring to. Glad to have another post that says the same thing.

Actually jedstei2 (on his first post to the site might I point out) was the only one who provided a link to the subject antenna. I, for one, think that all you old hands could have done the same thing but instead chose to play word games.

Since the OP's question was answered, there is no reason to let this nonsense continue.
