Short story: I lost my 10-year old Diamond RH77CA antenna whilst traveling. Other than my RS 800 MHZ antenna. I haven't used any other antenna with it, although I do have all the stock antenna that came with the various scanners I've bought over the years.
I'm really trying to decide whether I should get another RH77CA again. Since I haven't compared it to "stock" antennas in years, do you folks out there think it's so much darned better on the lower-than-800Mhz frequencies that one of the longer stock portable antennas? And are the "newers" RH77CAs as good as the old ones? The only thing I really listen to on VHF these days are aircraft and occasional ambulances.
Thanks!
