I am buying a yagi antenna for Xmas and need some help picking one. I am trying to get 800mhz trunked systems about 30-37 miles away. I get them some nights with a discone at 30 ft. I dont want to spend more that $100. Thanks for your imput

Hey Guys,
You can get a Wilson 301111 on Fleabay for some really good prices and the performance is great. I am using LMR-400 for the coax.
Make sure you use really good coax so your signal loss will be low. Here is a pic of mine on the tilt-over.

Wilson is a great antenna for the price.

Just make sure the coax is QUALITY LMR400 at a minimum, if you want to listen
to 800mhz.

Any frequency-specific antenna will probably do better than a discone. blech.:eek:
