Which antenna do you recommend?

[zephyrshockey8]

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!

Radio Shack RS-800 antenna.

Ditto x6

Best 800 MHz antenna for the money.

I have had decent success using the radio Shack 800MHz antenna:
800MHz Scanner Antenna - RadioShack.com

Thanks jdstei2.

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

Haha, gotcha now. I thought that was a brand name I'm kinda new at this. Thanks! I think I'm going to buy another one of those.

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.
