i purchased a new antenna from rad shack today model # 20-034 . it's alittle over 9 inches long, and covers 27-50 mhz, 138-174 , 400-512 and 806-940 mhz. it seems to work well on all bands, and i can hear the air traffic from denvers airport about 30 miles east from my location. also works well on local edacs and 800 mhz. state digital system. just curious if anyone else has tried it and how you like it. I'm using it on my pro 96.
