Does anyone use the wilson yagi 13 db antenna. I found one on ebay for $45 and want to know how good it is. I barly get the trunking freqs. where I live with a preamp. but I am using a discone. Want to know what people think of this antenna. Thanks

I assume you are talking about the 800mhz yagi for cellphone ?

Almost anything is better at 800mhz than a discone.

I have a friend that uses the Wilson for monitoring an 800 trunk system 50
miles away with good results.

He's happy with the results.

Just remember to use GOOD quality coax.

Bought one about a year ago. Mounted in attic and have had nothing but GREAT results. FYI-I am about 30 miles NE of Detroit, with probably 75% of the area on 800 MHz now.

I have one on a rotor and it is awesome. I recomend it. I bought mine here

I also agree, make sure you use good coax or you are wasting your time with 800 MHz
