I'm looking for a new antenna for my Pro164 scanner. My primary interests are vhf and uhf air bands. Nothing over 500 Mhz. What would you suggest. I've got a Diamond RH77ca but I'm looking for something shorter for when it's clipped to my belt! What would be the best choice? TIA

You need a longer whip for any sort of decent VHF pick up. Remember the shorter the antenna the higher the band(s) it's resonant on. With that said feel free to try the Comet Miracle Baby. Might not be an improvement over the stock antenna on VHF air band. I had one but lost it, though used it primarily to minimize simulcast distortion on 700 & 800
