attena for pro 94

i scan mostly 800 mhz. will the radio shack 800 atenna give me much improvment over the stock one?

The Radio Shack 800 mHz antenna is a tremendous improvement over the "stock" antenna at 800 mHz. It also works well at 460 mHz, but you will see some degradation at 150 mHz and the Lo-VHF (30-50) band, especially on weaker signals. At $15, it is well worth it. It really improved 800 mHz on my Pro-92 and Pro-94 trunkers.

cool thank you for response.i am trying to monitor atlanta ga.and columbus ga . atl is like 90 miles from me i can here it with stock but its all scratchy

:roll: I have easily monitored Atlanta and Cobb County's Motorola Type 2 systems when visiting that area of Georgia. But at 90 miles, I doubt you will be able to reliably pickup Atlanta's 800 mHz system. That's a very long distance for 800 mHz unless you are on a mountain top with a high gain multi element yagi type antenna aimed right at Atlanta.
:roll:

There is a 94-T antenna at this site: www.bncantenna.com Its a 19" telescope and can be adjusted for each band.

sadly still no luck. man i want atl so bad thats where all the action is! i get some of the chanels in in there trunk system. but comes in bad.. i guess im just out of luck if this radio shack 800 mhz atenna dont do it

and believe it or not, an amplified antenna will do good too. Such as this one on e bay made by radio shack. You just have to get the right connectors from coax to bnc. I use one from radio shack they made back in the early 90's. The model # is 15-1607.
