Uniden BC75XLT handheld antenna

[woodsjo2]

Hey guys,

so I was wondering if anybody knew of any antennas that would be a great fix for the portable uniden BC75XLT that will monitor a 480 frequency. The stock antenna that came with the scanner. Even has static even when it’s in the same town as the frequency. If you guys think it’s another problem just suggest to do something else as I’m not quite familiar with these scanners.

If that is the only band you are interested in you might do better with a single band antenna, I've been very happy with my antenna from Smiley Antenna,

5/8 Slim Duck 470 MHZ

Although mine is for the railband.

I've had good results with the Watson W-801.

IF you only want one band, then you get a one band antenna.
any piece of metal will receive something.
my motorola 150 antenna does just a pinch better than the radio shack 800 for the space station. (145.8 & .825)
and they are about the same size.
