Hi folks, prior to last year I lived on the 2nd floor of a 2 family and had a discone mounted on the exterior which brought in superb reception. Last year I moved to a garden apartment and the rules explicitly state that nothing can be put anywhere exterior to your windows.
So I've had to make do with two magnetic mount all-band antennas which sit on metal L-shaped brackets which are mounted on the interior window frame. Those I use for various frequencies, except P25. For that I have a 536HP sitting on the top of a desk hutch and use a back of the set telescoping antenna. I found that it's the only antenna and location that I can receive local P25 stations.
The magnetic mount antennas are about 20-30 years old. (maybe new ones are needed?)
Is there anything else I can do to improve my reception? Thanks
