I have just purchased a home patrol 1 at the reduced price being offered now. I find the stock rubber duck to be really lacking at reception in the 100-500 mzh range that I purchased this scanner for. That is where all the action is for fire and police in my area. I have screwed on the rubber duck from my Yaesu vx-6r ht and I find it has hugely improved the signal reception in that frequency range. I'm sure I will be getting an outside antenna this summer for base operation, but like to take it with me outside at times to listen while I do outdoor projects. Anyone found a better portable antenna for it? I know there are a lot of choices but would like some feedback from those testing other portable antennas. Thanks. KB1PDG.
