Many, many years ago a small company called Antenna Specialists had a VHF/UHF antenna that provided some gain and was at that time a bit pricey. When the 800 mHz became more active for use scanner users they added a version that included this band also. There were many mounting versions of this antenna with it's NMO base it was sold as a base, trunk lip, or a hole drilled in the car. It have tremendous pickup ability, I do not know how much gain it provided, but it permitted on to hear just about all of the Bay Area CHP bases when in Sonoma County.
I want to think that one of the models was "MON-31" and one package that I found in an old box "MONR-33."
Question -
Who makes such a antenna today with a similar performance record?
