PSR800 Antenna

[bchamp22]

Good morning fellow forum members. I just received my new PSR800 and it is working great. I have been out of the scanning hobby for over 25 years and WOW,thing have sure changed!! For the better I must add!!
The new scanner is working very well without any problems at all setting up everything however I am interested in getting possibly a stronger antenna. Any advice on which antenna to get. I live in Calgary,Ab Canada and I think I am missing some of the action on the other side of the city.
So my question is.... Which Antenna should I get for better reception and should I get an Amplifier for the antenna as well??
Thank you,
Brian

I use the Radio Shack 800MHz rubber duck and it works great but I don't know anything about your area or what frequencies you are listening to. As with most of my scanners the stock rubber duck stays in the box and never gets used.
