I am currently in a valley surround by high mountains. My entire county is on UHF and I am trying to get a better antenna than just a rubber duckie.
I cannot put anything out in yard due to high risk of vandalism.
I thought about what others have said about car scanner antennas and looked at a few at Radio Shack but not sure that's what I need.
I also debated a scanner amplifier but not sure if it can power multiple scanners I got at least 4.
My problem is signal can fade in and out while a person is transmitting like someone keeps playing with the volume knob.
Edit: Also I thought maybe it was electronic noise or computers but my almost no electronics neighbor is having exact same issue with her Pro-164. Also local PD on 453.650 claim they also are having issues not being able to contact Dispatch or vice-versa.
