Been testing a Diamond SRH77CA for over 2 months now. My testing showed me that this is a terrible antenna. Many have recommended it to be one of the best. Test it yourself! I can't believe how badly it tested as even compared to the stock HP antenna and many other cheap Radio Shack antennas. When compared to other hand held scanner antennas it seems to only receive 1/4 of the transmission that are received with a RS 800 antenna a RS 9 section tele antenna a BC246T stock antenna and a RS roof top discone. So bad that I returned it and got another to test. Same thing TERRIBLE! Actually silent in the 800 band (State Police). I am looking for someone to tell me I'm wrong after you test it. I was told this is the antenna to buy. Its rated very good and it stinks! Out 20 bucks but would have liked to get the antenna advertised and recommended. Don't even know what to do with it. Some even said maybe it was being overloaded with the power of transmissions that were close BS. Do yourself a favor compare it. Ron
