what is a good after market antenna to use with the BCT8. Will I get better reception with an after market one or will it be about the same as the one included with the scanner?
Comet SMA 3 works for me. Available @ ham radio dealers, maybe a bit pricey. Works well with Fleetnet, 400 mhz, and 800 mhz mobile, especially when scanner is attached to sun visor. Also folds in the middle with the top section flexible; a nice feature, allows me to put my scanner in a small bag or glove box.
