Recommended portable antenna for HP-2

[safetypro79]

Anyone have any recommendations for a quality SMA mount antenna for the HP-2 used in a portable situation based on real word reception for basically all PS bands?

Thanks forum members

When I had my HP-1, I used a Diamond SRH-789 with good results. I don't have the HP-1 anymore, so I use that antenna on my 436HP now.

I have used the Comet CH-32 (BNC model) on my scanners for over 20 years with great success. I use this with the stock BNC adapter included with the HP-2. Only 1.75 inches long, with an extended receive range of 118-160MHz, 250-290MHz, 360-390MHz, 420-470MHz, 820-960MHz, 1260-1300MHz.
