Anyone have any idea what frequency range these could receive?

 

[bezking]

Between 1 and 1.1 mHz. :lol: jk

does it say how much coax comes with it? if its as much as it SEEMS like in the photo, i dont think it could be all that great for that price....just my 2 cents...

Looks like an 800 mhz co-linear like you see on the public safety trunk systems. Actually, it could be anything since the camera angle shot makes the BNC look huge in respect to the mag base.

I might just buy it and see first hand... $3.30 flat, can't really go wrong..

For 3.30 with shipping it would be worth tryin...................Hoser147

 

[trooperdude]

Looks like 800 or 900mhz

Can't go wrong at that price if you need to monitor an 800 mhz system.

ill probably go with it....if i buy it ill tell yall how it does... ps, did anyone just purchase one yet, like did it work, like the order process is what im trying to describe?im just like omg how could it be this cheap...

another thing, is it safe to use on of these inside, i have like 0 education in ants. its safe right?

Not really, if you read the specs, the base is only about an inch in diameter and the antenna is only about 6" long.

There is no reason it wouldnt be safe, as long as you don't poke your eye out. :lol:

The site itself is legit.. I've bought things from them before.. They have ALL kinds of super cheap cool stuff.. I just ordered a set of rare earth magnets for $1.60 SHIPPED FROM CHINA, as well as a lazer pointer for $3.80 shipped.. And since they take paypal, it's just too easy.. One click purchases practically..

I guess the biggest thing about this site is that the shipping is free, even on the super cheap stuff.. If you can find something for .50 cents, they will ship it to you and you pay .50 cents. It's sort of unreal.. I do a lot of recreational shopping on this site and spend no more than $10 on several different items each time.. I get a LOT of packages

Based on the apparent size I would say 800/900 MHz range also. The title also makes one think they are targeting digital phones, the only problem with that is I have never seen a digital phone with a BNC connector.

Let us know what it is like.

 

[intrepid97]

I just ordered one,Will update when I get the antenna and test it out

 

[n211cr]

Its looks a lot like a small mobile 2.4 Ghz antenna that I have. I have never seen one with a BNC connector, but being that dealextreme puts it under computers - hardware parts it would make sense.

Here is an example.

I use a cellular antenna but I had to change the connector it cost me more than that.............Hoser147

 

[bee]

interesting!

It's a cell phone antenna. I used to have one on my Tahoe for when I'd be in woody areas that just wouldn't have good reception. Had to use a BNC converter on mine, tho. Should RX great on 700/800meg PS stuff. Did good for cell usage.

 

[sjcscanner]

well, would it work on the 800 mhz bands on a scanner or what? because i would think that if its strictly cell phone ant, why the heck would they put a bnc connector on the end..?

 

[mancow]

Proprietary 800 Mhz cellular alarm back-up systems?

900 Mhz data relay systems?

There is probably a million different things a company could have built them for. I bet they are 800 or 900 Mhz.

You have to realize that not everything with a BNC connector revolves around scanners. It could be for MDT's, a connection to a computer, or yes, a scanner or 2-way radio. It should work good on 800/900Mhz for general scanning. The coax looks a wee bit thin, tho. Not sure what spec. it is. Mine had RG-58u but the stuff in the pictures looks smaller...

If you search over there for antenna you'll see they have a few different ones.
