Hi,

Im looking to get a new antenna that will imrpove my reception for my 396XT on all bands. Ive been looking at the watson 889 and 881. I like the 889 because it is telescopic however it is something I can live without. Are these two antennas compairable? Which is better? Thanks!

Sorry can't compare the two... but will share my experience since you haven't received replies. :)

I have the 889 and I am happy with it for my PSR-500. I went with this model over the 881 because it is telescopic which makes it easier to be portable and also the fact that it does rotate so scanner can sit on my car seat or a table down flat.

Improved received signal by several bars for many of the local stations over the rubber ducky.

Allen...
