Hello All,
Just a thought here and I am wondering why this hasn't been a manufactured option yet like it is on ham and commercial radios..
Why not multiple antenna ports on the top of the line scanners? My wish at minimum would be a seperate antenna port for 800 MHz so I could use a nice 5 or 7 dB gain antenna for that and a high gain VHF/UHF antenna for others. I'm sure the radio could have a menu option for configuration so that one could still use just one port but I for one am tired of trying to find a mobile antenna that gives me satisfaction accross the board and in the home shack as well. Sure there are antennas out there that will give adequate coverage but I'm one that can't stop at "ok" and always shoot for the best! :wink:
Something tells me this is not a mod that could be done to existing units but I thought I would throw this out there just in case the possibility is out there or has already been done.
Happy scanning!
