I have a BCD396XT, I'm listening to a 800MHZ Trunked system roughly 15 miles away.
I've tried so many antenna's, none really seem to work that well.
I've had the best luck with the 800MHz Scanner Antenna : Scanner Antennas | RadioShack.com however I only get 1-2 bars at the most, only in specific parts in my home. If I go outside, I'll get 3-4 bars constantly.
I've also tried the Amazon.com: Opek Hi Performance Tri Band Amateur RadioandScanner Antenna - SMA 6M/2M/440: Electronics which got horrible signal.
Is there anything better that will help when it comes to a 800MHZ trunked system? I don't care if it's 5 feet long, which leads me to my next question... If there's nothing portable that is better than what I already have, what do you suggest for an outdoor antenna? I prefer to keep something slim if it's going to go on my roof.
