If you want something that covers the entire range then a discone or LPDA are about the only things that will.What would be a single antenna good quality and good receiving antenna for 150mhz through470Mhz?

Ive used both home brew wire j-poles and currently a copper one. They are great little antennas.

But do you really need the 180Mhz-390MHz range? It's usually mil air and conversations like "Turning right....Now!" and such exercise commands. Maybe you only need a dual band antenna, 150Mhz / 450MHz which would give you more options? The more narrow the frequency range the easier it is to get the proper antenna.What would be a single antenna good quality and good receiving antenna for 150mhz through470Mhz?
What is a LPDA antenna?
Three questions for you that will get you better qualified responses here:
1) Is this for indoor or outdoor mounting?
2) Are you looking to build (DIY) or buy?
3) How much are you wanting to spend?
it will be outside w LMR400 cable
im looking to buy, not make
Budget $250-$350 for antenna
Consider using a remote switch at the antennas. The cheapest one are probably a $10 Vertical/Horizontal polarization switch for sat dishes LNB heads. They switch at 15volt DC that you feed the coax from a bias-T down at the scanner.I would have to bring a separate cable down with a type of junction box with an A & B switch
I don’t listen to anything below 119mhz. What’s the best discone does anyone suggest?
If they got 6 or 8 "legs" they all perform the same. It's just the mechanical construction that differs, how long it will hold out to the enviroment.What’s the best discone
