Would this antenna work to bring in signals better on 800 mhz police band simulcast?
That's a directional antenna. From your other posts, it sounds as if you're fighting simulcast issues. An antenna like that, aimed at a specific site, might show an improvement for you.

What you'd want to do is aim it at a particular tower, not necessarily the closest, that does not have one or more tower sites near it in the same direction ("behind" it , or to it's near right or left). That might give you the best signal, with the least interference from the other sites,

hay for $13.00 +- its worth having. The beam width, probably have to play with it pointing in various directions, Front to back rejection might block a tower or two.Not sure where uou are at in relation to the Park City tower, if north west of the tower, you will get andover too. Popintin northwest to northeast away from Park City Tower would help. If you are south of Park City, then pointing at the Park City tower would help. Not sure how strong the beam would be, might be weather challenged a little.
