Radio Shack Pro 95

[hammertime7]

I have the Radio Shack Pro 95 scanner.
What would be a better antenna to use other than the short one that came with the radio?
I am trying to listen to all the bands.
I find when walking around my apartment the signal goes in and out, even on the weather station.
Is there a better rubber ducky type that is better to use?

Radioshack sells a telescoping handheld antenna for about $17. I have it, it's a great antenna for this scanner (I have a PRO-93, same as 95 exept less channels).

I also have that one from an old scanner. I never know how tall to make it to receive everything. So I was looking for a one piece antenna.

Get the Diamond RH77CA. It is awesome!! Also, check out www.strongsignals.net and look at his handheld antenna reviews.

Well, you won't find anything that is a piece antenna that will receive everything, (At least that's what I think) you have to adjust the antenna's height depending on what you want to receive. In radio shack site there's how to change it. I think the range is 25 to 1200 Mhz. But, a member, published a Excel file about how the sections should be extended for obtain the best SWR. Looking for it... If not I upload it, and in my opinion it works indeed better.

Ok couldn't find it fast, here it goes then.

That Strong Signals link, among many others, is available through the scanner antennas article, which is linked as part of a sticky through the antennas wiki at the top of this forum. Lots of information - including reviews - can be found there. 73s Mike
