I am getting ok reception I guess for in my town, I was just wondering if anybody else has changed there antenna on there new 996 scanner. I am getting some 800mhz channels, but the radio it self shows like 3 or 4 bars of strength, and no voice on the 800 mhz channels. I am not looking to put up any antenna outside due to restrictions. I am using this only as a base model, as we can not have these in our trucks here in minnesota. My reception seems too be good on the lower end of the channels like in the 154.xxx area. I can pick up to 30 miles away with the antenna that came with the unit. Am I just too picky or is there something just a little better out there that I don't know about. Other wise this scanner is great...
