$10.58 Antenna?

[KC2GVX]

Found this antenna on Deal Extreme. It is selling for $10.58 with free shipping. It is a TV antenna, but covers 174-230 & 470-862 MHz. Is it worth $11?

Give it a shot at that price you can see how it works and do a review on their sight and here. I picked up a cell antenna on a garage sale for $1 works good. Good scannin hoser147

Is it worth $11?

If I needed a magmount I would give it a shot.

Since it is center loaded, replacing the element is not going to be difficult if it comes to that.

It looks like a regular old 800 Mhz analog cell phone antenna to me.

Even is the mast is crap, the mag mount looks $11 worthy.
