I just purchased my first scanner the Uniden BC355C 800MHz. I am using the antenna that came with it, but am getting very poor reception. I have moved it all around the downstairs of my house trying to find the best spot. Sometimes signal to a certain frequencies is pretty clear and others not s much. I Am not in a big city and all towers are not near me.

IS there anything i can do to improve reception? I would rather not have to mount anything to my roof.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
