7/800 mhz scanner antenna

[Patty01]

Hello all, I'm looking for a good 800mhz antenna for my uniden 996P2, I am listening to the Mass State Police smartzone system, as of right now I'm using a Motorola 7/800 sma portable antenna but it's not doing what I need. I would Ideally be looking for an outdoor antenna, and I'm not that crafty so something pre-built would be good. If you have any good recommendations let me know.

Thanks, Patrick

Outdoorwise if you don't plan on monitoring any other bands a yagi might best suit you

How far are you from the site and what site do you monitor. There are quite a few sites on that system that are simulcast so too much antenna may make things worse.
