I received my 800-866 MHz, 4 inch Antenex Tuf Duck Portable Antenna for my 396XT this morning. I first saw this antenna on Scanner Master, so I logged on Tessco and ordered it. I removed the gaudy Radio Shack antenna, with adapter, and screwed on the Antenex and subsequently lost all 800MHz service. This antenna was a waist of my money.
I monitor the Nashville, TN Motorola system, and wanted to enhance my reception. I monitor at work on a signal fringe and can receive well from the computer room. I work on the opposite end of a county that touches Davidson County about 30 miles from the new Hermitage tower. I figured this antenna would give me a little extra reception since it does not require the adapter. I figured wrong.
So in a nut shell, the Antenex antenna did not work and I am stuck with the Radio Shack antenna with the Superflex coupler attached.
Have a nice day,
