800mhz Ducky

Hey all, just a few random thoughts about 800mhz antennas. I know most of us have a drawer full of various antennas around the house, and we've all spent a small fortune trying out different ones. But I'm just curious if anyone has found one that beats the Remtronix 800's when it comes to 700/800mhz. Any thoughts or experiences?

When it comes to rubber portable antennas nothing beats the REM 820 on 800 MHz and I've got them all. LOL.

Man, the cheap-o Radio Shack one I had 15 or 20 years ago was the best 800 MHz HT antenna I ever had! I didn't do any quantitative testing or anything, it just always seemed to work so much better than any others I had.

Haha, yeah man whatever they're doing they're doing it right!

That Radio Shack 800 MHz antenna is the same antenna as the REM 820. It was made by GRE and rebranded by RadioShack just like their scanners. I bought a fistful of them when RatShack went out of business at 70% off. They were only BNC then.

Remtronix added the SMA and SMA 100.

Works pretty good on UHF also. Unfortunately, not so much on VHF High.

I like all of their products.

+1 for that antenna. I still have the Radio Shack branded one and it works well.
