discone

Hey all I'm looking to buy this Tram 1410 Discone antenna but I'm a bit confused about which coax to use for this antenna. I have my Bcd996p2 which has a BNC f connector I'm looking to use it for P25 systems which is in the 700-800 MHz and also 400mhz thank you very much.

I am only about a month into having purchased an RTL-SDR dongle and a Tram 1410 Discone Antenna that I have mounted on my old Dish Network mount (minus the disc, the arm now horizonal, and adding a 3' tall antenna mounting pole to the end of the old Dish Network arm). I have watched many...

i have a discone antenna here that the center pin part needs to be replaced before i can reinstall it here at my house so all i need is the center part that the coax center for the SO-239 is all i'm trying to look for.. it's a for an old Rat-Shack Discone Antenna i've had for years

Hello everyone, I'm currently selling my SDS100 that includes a remtronix antenna plus a Harvest D220 mini discone. Original packaging for radio will be included.Everything is in perfect working order, I'm only selling all of this currently because I was furloughed and have to make some tough...

I'm looking for some advice from others that know better than me with antennas. Is it worth it to have 2 separate antennas for VHF/UHF and 800 Mhz? This will be for a base application and in the attic. I have an all-band mobile with a ground plane currently using as my base on a 10-foot mast...

So I am new to the hobby, having just invested in a beautiful 996P2, I have it programmed with all the available frequencies and have been getting okay results. Local police (NYPD) comes in clear as a bell, as do the MTA bus operators and a few other services. Other than that, it's been pretty...

Good evening, Does anyone have measured gain (patterns) for a D3000N discone antenna that they are willing to share? The datasheet states a nominal 2 dBi gain, but I am skeptical that is true across the full frequency range, and also would expect rolloff as elevation angle increases until...

Hi All I have 2 brand new, still in the package,Tram Model 1410 discone base scanner antennas. Antenna connector on these is SO-239 so you will need a PL-259 connector on your coax. Price is per antenna and shipping is a flat rate $5 to anywhere in the Continental U.S. Will ship...

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.

Hi All, I’m new to SDR and radio in general, I have a Hack RF One running through GQRX on Mac. I have a Discone antenna installed in my attic which I connect directly to my HackRF one using RG58 cable. Does anyone have any tips on optimal set up in GQRX etc? I can pick up a few signals on the...

price is no worry, base station, antenna with highest gain for all band scanner? X700HNA Dualband Base/Repeater Antenna ? Or am I just better off with a wideband discone? Like the D3000N?

If installing a discone antenna on the same mast as Tv antenna how far apart from each other?

Hi All, I'd like to install a dual band base antenna (likely no more than 50W at max output) for reporting in to my Skywarn Net and ragchewing. I'd also like to put up a discone or similar wideband RX antenna for monitoring Aircraft, Marine, RR, etc. I'm assuming I can't put them right...

Hey RR users, I've been playing with SDR, And it's really a lot of fun, and a great entrance to the Radio world. I'm wanting to set up a Discone Antenna for general listening, I'd obviously want this on my Roof. I don't come from any engineering or electrical backgrounds, However I know the...

So my work was kinda slow today with all this rain so I was able to take the opportunity to spend some time shopping for some new toys. I'm looking at a Diamond discone antenna to add to my old Uniden and ultimately with my new bcd436hp when it comes in. Does anyone have experience using one of...

Let me first say that I am a big fan of MFJ. I have no bone to pick with them, and I realize this is an inexpensive antenna partly or wholly mfg in China. Not being my only antenna, I will use it on all the ham bands from 6 meters through 1.2 gigs (someday). Right now I really love the raised...

Just getting back into scanning, mostly because of the fires here in rural Washington. Expecting a Uniden HP-2 today. I already have a 30+ year old discone antenna on the roof that does not appear to be missing any radials. Has the technology changed so much that this will be a waste of time...

I got a discone antenna, Antennacraft ST4, being used for receiving only. I have no plans to do transmitting on it. I want to do some changes to it, but wanted to know pros and cons. Antenna: Antennacraft ST4 Cabling Used: RG6 quad shielded Uses: OTA DTV and police scanners Location of...

As I've gained more equipment (now an SDR which I use for ADS-B and ACARS) and my pro 2006 for NOAA APT i've started experimenting more with building my own antennas (Such as a double cross for APT). Well, I decided I wanted to do a little more, get a little bit more technical. I looked at the...
