So you posted this under scanner and receiver antennas, I took a glance at some of the systems in your county and it appears although there is much encryption there are Area Fire Communications that are Phase 2 and appear to be on 700 MHz, this antenna would not work in the 7-800 MHz area very well if this is indeed for a scanner. Or perhaps this is for amateur radio use to be transmitted with?

Looking at a couple of the models listed it seems these are very expensive for what they are and the advertised gain is made up, basically a lie. 7.2dBi gain at UHF out of a 4ft tall antenna? Yea, right. Or a single UHF dipole for $259? No thanks.

Me thinks the original poster is somehow affiliated with the seller.

Because he keeps posting about this company? Or some other reason? :p
In my experience a legitimate recommendation usually starts with something other than "This antenna will amaze..." or "Got mine today... Works great!" or "You might want to look at". I would expect that from a salesman.

Then there is the actual thing being promoted, if it were truly an amazing awesome thing, especially at a good price then OK, maybe the person recommending didn't pick the best way to introduce us to the item. But in this case there is nothing amazing or awesome about the antennas that I see.

Or maybe I'm just being too critical as usual and should go clean the garage or do something else useful.

I was especially suspicious or maybe thinking the poster didn't have a good grasp on scanning or receiving but ..

Posting under scanner / receiver antennas, a antenna that does not cover the majority of United States Phase 1 and Phase 2 7-800 MHz systems was bewildering.. even in Canadian area that op identifies with uses phase 1 and Phase 2 systems, 7-800 megahertz.

For many, this antenna would not compete with a Larson or Laird tri-band antennas, that would include VHF High, UHF and 7-800 MHz. Beware of the term.. tri band here.

Funny, I have never heard of any antenna that was 'mode specific' and for certain there is no mobile antenna that has such gain. Overhyped and likely overpriced.

Why in the world have the hammy manufacturers settled on a PL-259 mobile antenna mount over the industry standard NMO. DUMB!
