I would like to try a Yagi on the local P25II system. I monitor 775.000 and would like a general range thereabouts. I hoped to use it indoors in the same room as the scanner so I was hoping to experiment with a smaller sized, perhaps 3 element and not a monster 4 footer. If it solves my issues, then perhaps I can move it to the attic or build another suitable for the outdoors.
So the two calculators I used give some numbers that don't appear right, for example one site is saying it goes on a 10" boom with element spacings of only 2 7/8".
A 10" yagi would be right on for where I intend to put it... but 2 " spacing doesn't look like any yagi I have seen.
So I was hoping someone can let me know if a small yagi is possible for 700/800 and maybe give me some feedback.
