I currently am getting flaky signal on my BC147XLT and think it may have to do with the basic whip that comes with it.
I was looking at this connector which I think is what I would need:
ANT38, ADAPTER TO CHANGE YOUR BNC MALE ANTENNA CONNECTOR TO MALE MOTOROLA. ALLOWS BNC SCANNER ANTENNAS TO PLUG INTO SCANNERS WITH A MOTOROLA JACK. - Scanner World - The Largest Dealer of Scanning Radios in the World
But I can't really find a reference online what exactly the connector on my scanner is called but I think it's "Motorola Push Pin Connector"
Anyway, should switching to a newer BNC antenna like possibly the RH77CA or even the RadioShack Whip, or any others really help out?
EDIT: My RadioShack Pro-2028 also seems to take a Motorola connector as it's external antenna but for some reason I can barely find documentation or even pictures of said connector.
