My main frequencies are a mix of 153.*** - 159.*** and 453.*** - 484.*** with the Mass State Police as my only 800 MHz trunked system I listen to. I generally have a scanner in the car and the reception is generally lousy (as I am sure most of you know). Unfortunately, an exterior antenna is out of the question, so I am looking at suction cup antennas. Will using one of these improve performance over the default antenna (on either a GRE PSR-300 or a Uniden BR330T). Some of the ones I have come across
Dual Suction Cup BNC Antenna Mount
Valor BNCSCRS
The above two are the two I think I would have the best luck with.
Also, I saw this and was curious what people had to say on this.
Opek AM801
Appears I lock it in on my window and use an antenna outside. How does something like this work, and what type of antenna would I mount to it (a stock rubber duck or something else).
I think I would prefer the suction cup if it is indeed an upgrade but figured I would throw both options out there.
Any input appreciated. Thanks.
