I'm looking to upgrade the antenna on my 898t, but I really don't use it enough to warrant setting up a discone or any type of outdoor antenna really, and I don't have an attic available, so I'm looking for an alternative.
Right now I've got a mobile magnetic "hershey kiss"(I think it cost about $10) mounted on top of it, and it's a little better than the stock antenna, but not by much. I mostly monitor 800mhz. I tried mounting my radioshack 800mhz antenna to the back of it, but I had to put together a right angle adapter to get it to stand straight up, and it really didn't work that well(might have just been because of the adapter)
So, does anyone have any ideas??
