Maxx Tenna

[Flair]

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience or information about the "Maxx Tenna" antenna for scanners? I noticed it on Ebay as I have Uniden Home Patrol and wanted to try something new in the type of antenna connection I am using.

Thanks

I had a Look at this Antenna looks kind of Neat but never tried one the Antenna that I would use if I got a Home Patrol again would either be Radio Shack 800 which has a 6 DB Gain in 800mHz or I like using Comet's SMA 3

To add: I looked some more on the Maxx antenna through the ebay site and it seems be Quit well made and for my some one that lives in an Apartment it might work really well inside or out if I could find a place to mount it outside..

Before you spend you money on that antenna, I would look at this thread:

I'm not saying that it is the same antenna or constructed in the same manner, but I would definitely have some questions for the seller.

Take Care,

I have it sbout 25 foot in the air with low loss coax and it is really not good. It does no better than my rubber antennas that are on the top of my scanner!!! The guy on ebay who sells these has good feedback, maybe because he is a fast shipper or the people dont know any better. This antenna gave me almost no extra range at all.

Looks like an antenna anyone can make for under $5.00.A rubber duckies would work as good ,just hang it up high.

I bought a maxi-tenna and It did not work for me.It was worse than my antenna. Max-tenna told me to send it back to get a refund.
