Have a Radio Shack PRO 18 with the 800Mhz ducky. Works pretty well, but my local Police, Fire, etc went to EBRCS and of course, at times, my scanner has difficulty receiving the multiple transmissions on the same frequency (simplexing ?).
Heard that "directional" antenna might be a good solution. I have NO problem with range, and I'm in an area with strong signals overall, with a lot (too many in my case) of transmission sites.
Question : can anyone suggest a simple and relatively inexpensive directional antenna that I can experiment with ? Might initially just use it inside the house until I get a feel for whether or not it helps solve my particular issue, so small size would be good.
Or... is there anything else you might suggest I try to make these particular transmissions more understandable ? PS - Already tried stubby (nascar type) antenna - no real difference though.
thx
