wilson yagi

[wildbillx]

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.

I use the wilson yagi. it performs quite well. I didnt find it for $45 tho. I paid double that

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
