I'm looking for some advice from others that know better than me with antennas.
Is it worth it to have 2 separate antennas for VHF/UHF and 800 Mhz? This will be for a base application and in the attic.
I have an all-band mobile with a ground plane currently using as my base on a 10-foot mast BUT I got busted by the HOA, so now a whole new antenna array is being considered.
Right now I'm considering a Tram 1410 Discone for VHF/UHF and a Yagi for 800 Mhz. I'm in a tight metro area of Miami/Fort Lauderdale where signals are strong on all bands. Will the Discone be fine? Do I need to split the VHF/UHF from the 800 mhz for optimum reception?
My listening habits are VHF Air, Mil Air/Feds/Mil Ground 200-300 mhz, UHF 450-460 mhz and 700-900 mhz Trunked P25 II.
Also, have a homebrew ADSB antenna into an RTL-SDR V3. No transmitting at all.
Thanks to all.
