Looking for suggestions,
Replacing my stock antenna on my ws1040. I need some info on a
Bnc
High Gain
Vhf (150's)
Rubber duck style
There's so many options on the net, i'm lost...
Looking at your county, Missoula, in the
database, it appears that other than a handful of Uhf frequencies, everything else in your county is Vhf-high. That's also the case with counties adjourning yours.
I would suggest an antenna like the
RH77CA. That's a good antenna for Vhf & Uhf.
Personally, I prefer the
RH789. That is a telescoping antenna, with markings printed on it to suggest how far out to extend the antenna for best reception. Also, the RH77CA is long, about 15", so that's easy to accidentally hit & tip the scanner over. The RH789 will collapse to a much shorter length, making it less of a 'target'.
