So, I have been scanning as a hobby now for about 10 years, and I want to take the next step and start playing with antennas.
I have about $100 total that I can dedicate to the project. I have tried building in the past, but with poor results, so I think I want to buy this time.
I live in a freestanding house, so I can put something up outside on a mast (although my wife may have differing opinions). I have read over the forums so much, and there are more opinions than people. I really would like recommendations, trying to keep me within my budget (including upgraded coax or whatnot). I have a Radio Shack nearby, which I think is my only real outlet other than online.
I am in Marion County, OR and would like to better receive from neighboring counties. I mostly listen to police and fire on my PRO-96.
Thanks guys!
