Scanner antenna identity?

[rrman987]

Bought this at hamfest, with no manufacture markings anywhere. Bottom rod is approximately 3 inches, middle rod is approximately 7.25 inches between traps, and top rod is approximately 16.5 inches. Assume black objects are tuned traps defining UHF, VHF and LHF ranges. 20 foot RG50 coax and BNC connector.
Works just fine, but curious who vendor is(was)?

Radio Shack. Supposed to be an "all band" scanner antenna. Can also transmit on 2 meters and 440 MHz.

Thanks, Makes sense Radio Shack generic. Have to remember that it can do 2 meters if I need to use it someday.

I'm still using mine! I changed out the base part to an old Antenna Specialists NMO base...

That is a great antenna. Still have mine and that magnet held strong at 75 mph on the Jersey Turnpike.

20-012 Motorola - type connector
20-032 Bnc - type connector

Think moto connector was first then they changed to bnc.

I have 3 of those old Radio Shack scanner antennas. Best cheap scanner antennas long time ago.
