Antennas, what do you use

[cowboymike1971]

what type of Antennas do you use for monitoring around the area? Mobile and home. Lets all share ours.
I use a ground plane type that i have mounted on a homemade pole on my deck and inside I use RS 800 Mhz antennas for my Pro-97's when out and about as well.

I use the RS 800 antenna at home and in the car. For aimless wandering thru China-Mart, the Comet 3-band handy stubby antenna.

I use a Watson W-881 Super Gainer when at home and for most of my traveling, but keep a RS 800-Mhz on hand for trunking areas.

At work I use a 12db VHF directional on a rotator and a fiberglass UHF. At home I use a wide band Radio Shack and a 5db Contelco fiberglass UHF. Works GREAT as we only use VHF for public safety and UHF for business here in Moses Lake.
