Best antenna for BCD536HP

[SpringMN]

Any recoomendations for the best antenna indoor and outdoor for Uniden BCD536HP? Thanks for the anticipated help. I really appreciated.
Notes: 50 miles range (aver or more). Live in the country, close to the city. MN. For trunkated Systems (MN Armor), newbie user.

Same as the best outdoor antenna unless you have space constraints.

Well you couldn't use both at the same time, & all things be equal outside will trump inside. The higher you get the antenna the better you will receive. If you want to monitor a TRS consider a Yagi type!

I have used the Diamond Discone on scanners for many years with excellent results. A decent, quality feed line (coax) also makes a big difference as well. For scanners, I use Times Microwave LMR-400 with silver plated N-connectors. Note: the Diamond Discone antenna comes in either a SO-239 or N-Female connector, to avoid using an adapter outdoors, I would suggest ordering the one with your preferred connectors on it and then install the correct connectors on the feedline as well. N-connectors are very easy to install and standup to the elements very well.

For mobile type antennas on a magnet mount, you can't beat the Larsen tri-band scanner antenna with an quality NMO mount. It's about 20" long and is great for everything from 50-1200 MHz; though spec'd for 150/450/800. It's all I use mobile...

Thanks everyone.. We do not have any space constrains and I know I could figure it out something to make it as high as we need. Joeuser I will be checking on the Yagi Type.. TSR is exactly what I want to be able to monitor. W2GLD thanks great information as well. Few things I did not considered such the correct connectors or cable used to get a sharper feed.
