Hello,
I have decided to buy a yagi antenna for my scanner for a new 800MHz P25 Phase 2 system in my area. I will be testing the antenna and listening to the new system on a BCD436HP until it is fully operational and the current EDACS system is turned off. Then the system will be monitored on a BCD536HP that I use for streaming. I plan on mounting the yagi antenna in the attic of my 1 story home, about 3.4 miles away from the simulcast site. I have the coordinates of my house and the simulcast site and have calculated the heading to point the yagi in.
I have found two yagi's from Terrawave, but dont quite know the difference. Can someone please give some more info on the differences or give an opinion on which is better? Below are the links. I understand that both of these have N style connections. I will also buy an N Female to BNC male adapter, and from there connect the bnc to an SMA adapter while I test on the BCD436HP.
