Will this antenna from C. Crane work as advertised? I'm needing just a little more reception for a handheld in an office area by a window. I currently use the 800mhz Radio Shack antenna.

Effective immediately we will be deleting, without notice, any negative threads or posts that deal with the use of encryption and streaming of scanner audio.
We've noticed a huge increase in rants and negative posts that revolve around agencies going to encryption due to the broadcasting of scanner audio on the internet. It's now worn out and continues to be the same recycled rants. These rants hijack the threads and derail the conversation. They no longer have a place anywhere on this forum other than in the designated threads in the Rants forum in the Tavern.
If you violate these guidelines your post will be deleted without notice and an infraction will be issued. We are not against discussion of this issue. You just need to do it in the right place. For example:

Don't seem like it would increase much over the one you have.

Curious
I have always wondered if this was any better than the RS 800 mhz antenna?

At that length, I doubt it would help your 800Mhz at all. Suspect it would be be worse, if anything. Vhf-high might be better, but that's about it. It would probably home in on the interference from the fluorescent lights like a Sidewinder missile.rpowley said:
800 MHz Max antennas
My own experience is that they're almost equal. I own both the RS 800 and the Max Systems 800, and love them both. I'd give a slight edge to the Max Systems for pulling in distant 800 MHz systems, and it's my only indoor 800 MHz antenna. But I like the RS antenna when I'm using my handheld, and at half the price, it hard to beat.
Have a great 4th!
