I used the Radio Shack Deluxe Scanner Antenna, SKU 20-034 on the PRO-90 and it
improved 800 Mhz trunking over the stock antenna. It's great for all band work.

I replaced this antenna with Radio Shack's 800 MHz Scanner Antenna SKU 20-283
and got great results with the PRO-90 trunking tracking 800 MHz systems and
have another one of these for the BC 250D/BCi25.
Again it works very well giving several more miles of range when listening
mobile!
However it cuts off the conventional VHF band reception a bit, compared to the
Uniden stock antenna, that came with the BC 250D.

If your concerned with both conventional VHF/UHF and 800-900 Mhz trunking then
the
Deluxe Scanner Antenna SKU 20-034, is a better choice!
What kinds of problems are you having now?

a BC-296D and am waiting for it to arrive now, and am worried that I will
have the same problems.
