antenna

It's on a building (office/warehouse) that was abandoned, possibly around 2006

Hello, I am new to the hobby of HAM & scanning in general. I have just purchased a uniden sds100, but I am not too familiar with the science behind radio communications. Besides the AARL handbook, what are some books that can help me to learn the hobby itself including the technical aspect of...

I am new to the scanning world, and in the process of purchasing my new scanner (uniden sds100). I am very interested in radio communications and want to learn about it, where is a good place to learn the basics? Thank you

Has anyone bought this ~ https://www.jpole-antenna.com/shop/aviation-airband-118-128-mhz-j-pole-antenna/ I was thinking about buying one. But before I do, I want everyone's opinion on it. How big of an improvement is it over the standard scanner antennas that come with the scanners...

Hello! These questions might have been asked again here... But, 1st of all I can’t search all other 13K Q&A’s here and I want to have all my facts in one place. I’m interested in Emergency Services Public Safety monitoring. Starting: • I’m new to Scanners and Radios. I would like to learn...

Wanting to see what was inside, I used a utility knife to cut off the insulation on the rubber duck antenna that came with my BC125AT. Can this antenna be repurposed to build a multiband scanner antenna: a standard "ground plane" type or half-wave dipole?

Dear Colleagues, does anybody have any experience with this passive delta loop HF antenna? Any comments on its performance and quality?

I'm having difficulty with the line input impedance of the circular planar antenna signal. Its impedance is 117 ohms and the correct is 50 ohms, I am not able to lower the value. I made modifications to the input increasing the line width and also made an impedance transformer. When I get it...

Last summer I replaced my 2013 F-150 with a new 2019 F-150. Just like the last truck, this is my daily driver to the office job, but it does truck stuff too! I've been happy with Ford trucks and decided to get another F-150, but this time around I placed a factory order so I could get the...

I have installed a Discone antenna on my roof. Am I supposed to earth ground the mount frame on the antenna? The mount is a TV antenna mount if that matters.

I have a BCD436HP and a Larsen Tri-band antenna. I have a vehicle mount for the antenna but was looking to see if there is a way to direct mount the antenna to the scanner also? Wouldn't be used often but would like to have the option for times I'm away from the home antenna and outside the...

Aspiring HAM here ... very new ... and I just happen to be in the middle of a big home remodel. While remodeling, I have added a 1" metal conduit that will go to the roof and I am wondering what the most useful and versatile wires to put in that conduit would be ? My existing requirements are...

New owner here. I just popped the Diamond RH77CA off my radio and put on this new one from ScannerMaster. Wow! Unreal, the difference. I can't believe the difference in clarity, reception..crystal clear, loud. Like they're standing right next to me. I thought the Diamond was a nice step up from...

Hello Team, I'm looking at improving my military band reception as my Diamond Discone doesn't seem picking up well specially that I live 40 miles from JBLM and 60 miles from another Naval Air Station. i have seen lots of good reviews about DPD Omni X Antenna. do you agree or have another...

So, I can't seem to find what I'm looking for and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I've used my Uniden 436hp in my vehicles for a few years now have used a slew of different antennas from mag mounts, lip mount, etc. I recently picked up a VW Golf and picked up a Breedlove...

I've been searching around and I've seen a lot of mods for various GPS antennas, internal or external, for various scanners but none of them (that I could find) help with what I'm specifically looking for. I have had several vehicles with external NMO mount GPS antennas, and I have a whole box...

Hi, I have Discone antenna (link) connected to 50' RG8X coax cable (link) which is plugged into my scanner directly with an SO-239 to BNC adaptor (link). The antenna and current setup works great. I would like to set up another scanner and use the same antenna, so I have 2 (or more) scanners...

Does anyone know of a company to remove an antenna tower? It’s about 40 ft tall. I had used it for ham radio. I am doing a different antenna system now and would like to have the tower removed. It’s been up over 20 years.its not rohn tower. Thank you for any info.

I am trialing a few mobile antennas and I just had to write a review about my first impression of the first antenna that I'm trialing. I spend most of my time listening mobile or at work. I rarely listen at home, but I do listen all day when in my office. Environments: Vehicle: GMC Sierra...

I am seeing these devices attached to street lights around San Diego. They appear to have 5 antennas. Does anyone know what they are?
