Hi, this is my first post so please tell me if I am double posting or in the wrong section.
Anyway, my question is whether or not a 433MHz antenna will improve reception of 433Mhz signals on my handheld scanner compared to the rubber duck stock antenna. I ask because the antenna I am looking at seems to be designed for transmitting 433MHz signals and I only need to receive.
Also, would I be better off with an adjustable dipole and adjusting it to the 433MHz length (34cm total length)?
My scanner is a hand-held radio shack analogue scanner, if that is relevant, with the standard BNC connection.
