Hello all!
I am a scanner enthusiast from Pittsburgh, PA. I have a bc72xlt and was looking to get a better antenna than the rubber ducky one. My primary use is to listen to first responder/emergency response transmissions in the 450-500 MHz (UHF...I think) region. I live in the northern part of Allegheny County and would like to be able to clearly receive transmissions from throughout the county. The transmissions in the northern part of the county and the city of Pittsburgh are clear but ones coming from the south and east of the city are not. I'm looking for one that may also be mobile capable, but it's not a critical concern. I saw this antenna in another post and wondered if it would be compatible with my scanner and was what I was looking for:
SpectrumForce Wideband Antenna with Mag Mount and BNC
I will also gladly take any suggestions offered by the group and thank all of you in advance for yourwarm welcome and assistance.
I'm also thinking of getting an additional bc396xlt next year...lol
Thanks again!
