I have used a UHF/VHF TV antenna for years with excellent results for my local 800mhz trunk system. But last year I moved into a mini home (aka: trailer) that is surrounded by metal eaves, trimming and trees and my excellent working antenna is not so excellent anymore. I do get some reception but it comes and goes. I've tried it on the roof with no improvements. I then thought of throwing the antenna up in a tree but after doing some reading, thought it would only lead to more problems. Even walking around the yard with the rubber duck antenna signal is hit and miss. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do. Could a signal amplifier make an improvement? I rent, so attaching anything to the house is not likely. Scanner is a Pro-97 scanning the 800mhz range.
Input much appreciated!
