Yagi for scanner application

[holeinace]

Would this work for a scanner ? (assuming the frequencies are in the 800-900 range) I am guessing yes, just looking for reassurance. Wilson 800-900 MHz 10 dB YAGI cellular Antenna 301129 - eBay (item 230435277491 end time Mar-11-10 09:36:05 PST)

Yep, you just have to purchase the N to BNC adapter that are available on eBay.

Why not just build the one featured in Popular Communications 2 or 3 years ago?

It's easy to build, cheap (you can get the parts from Ace Hardware), and works great.

I built the 10-element one which is only about 3 feet long and am very happy with it. If you can use an electric drill, measuring stick, and soldering iron, it's a piece of cake.

No, I don't remember which issue it was in.
