800 Mhz Handheld Antenna

[randytn]

I am looking for an handheld to improve 800 Mhz reception on RS Pro-97 scanner any ideas? I am looking at this antenna http://www.scannermaster.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=14-540714 , and the Radio Shack 800 Mhz portable. I also listen to UHF and VHF High, so the antenna must be a good performer in those bands also.

I have used the RS 800 antenna on various scanners ever since it was introduced. I am totally satisfied with it's performance. Even though it's designed for 800, it also does a very commendable job on VHF/UHF. Don't think you would be disappointed.

I am very pleased with Radio Shack's 800MHz antenna. I think they're around $17.00. I have tried $40 antenna's and can't compare to Radio Shack's. Hope this helps.

I have the Radio Shack 800mhz hand held scanner antenna on my
Uniden 396t and it picks up real well on that scanner. So I am going to have to agree with xusmarine1979. I took the original one that
came with the scanner and put it in my nightstand.
