Life was so much simpler when I didn't know too much about antennas. I have my scanner picked out (BCT15X) and I thought I had an antenna to match. But then I used Google search Turns out I didn't know anything about antennas.
I'm looking for a HF-VHF antenna (multi/wideband), one that can match the range of my scanner. I've brought this question up a few times (and if anyone is getting tired of me asking, I apologize), but I'm still learning about this cool hobby and I still haven't found the 'perfect' antenna.
While most of my listening will be in the normal ranges (CB FRS and police/fire), I'd like the option to listen to anything the scanner can tune to. Am I asking the next to impossible or am I just being to picky?
I keep coming back to the Spectra Austin Antenna, but I'd rather not have to spend $130 on it. I've read that the antenna itself is only like $80ish, if someone could direct me to a site that has that I'd be very happy. I'm also happy with a few Diamond and Larsen antennas. I just cant find what I'm looking for though.
I apologize if I'm being a pain.
