If all you want is 800 and omni, the a mobile on a ground plane kit works well.

Yagi or corrner reflectors are best for directional.

Don't worry too much about the gain, focus more on good cable and connectors.

I posted on another thread and included a pic of a corner reflector made by Decibel that I use for dedicated 800 mhz. Decibel is the premier manufacturer of commercial grade antennas. The pic is of an extra one I have and is now surplus to my needs. If you are interested, make me an offer. At 35-40 ft, you will be pleased with the additional gain of a corner reflector, which is 5-6 db over a discone, but you *must* use top quality feedline. I use .25 Andrew Superflex sealed with "Coaxseal" at the connectors.
If interested, message me asap, I will probably post it in the "for sale" section in another week or so.
Regards.
