I am looking for an 800 mhz YAGI beam antenna for monitoring the Motorola 800 mhz state police/fire (etc) system. I live in Rhode Island, not far from the tower in Attleboro Mass. Right now I am presently using a Diamond Discone up about 25' fed with LMR 400......about 50 feet. I am getting satisfactory results but still some annoying white noise at times. Also I have a HUGE hill to my east so I am sure that doesnt help. I am guessing a yagi would work much better than the vertical. I will have r to point the beam northeast and try to get it up high. My scanner is a Radio Shack PRO 2055. I have searched online and there are many yagis....some long, some short.....but I don't know the quality of them. Also I have used a recycled HDTV antenna mounted SIDEWAYS to pick up other stuff and it works VERY well.....apparently the frequencies used by HDTV are close to those scanner freqs. And are vertically polarized signals, so mounting the HDTV antenna sideways seems to work well. So I would rather use a DEDICATED 800 mhz antenna as opposed to an HDTV one. So can anyone suggest a moderately priced antenna?
