Centerfire UHF Antenna

[adamr368]

Has anyone had any experience with this antenna? I am considering picking one up, as the majority of my monitoring is in the 500 - 860 MHZ range.

"Designed to receive the major UHF Bands between 300 and 900 MHz. Including the digital trunked systems and the new 700 Mhz band. This antenna will also receive local VHF 150-220 MHz and 1200 MHz traffic.
Type F connector allows the use of low loss 75 ohm coax cable. RG6 or RG11 is recommended and is available at home improvement stores. This antenna can be used indoors or outdoors."

Looks like a shortened version of the ST-2 design

I finally got around to putting this up on the roof this weekend and am quite happy with the results. I have gone from receiving only 1 tower on a local 500 MHz system to being able to receive 5 and can now pick up the NJSP as well. The antenna is quite small and you can barely see it from the ground. I ran Quad Shield cable with a compression F connector at the antenna and a compression BNC connector at the scanner end.
