Discussing a problem receiving the Charlotte area UASI system on a 436HP, someone suggested using a Motorola APX UHF antenna.
I did some searching around and they are available and appear that will fit on the 436HP and should work. While searching Ebay and Amazon, I noticed that the All Band VHF/UHF/700-800Mhz antenna is also available.
The ones on Ebay seem to be knock offs, but at least some of the ones on Amazon are OEM.
The OEM antennas on Amazon are more expensive, of course.
I'm not worried about the cost, but I'd like to hear from anyone who might have used them on a 436HP or any other scanner for that matter. Do the improve reception over the RS 800Mhz antennas?
I know that it won't fix simulcast distortion, but my problem is hearing the system at all.
Thanks.
