I guess I've have different experiences than you.

Is it possible that there is a strong signal source close to you that
was desensing your receiver when using the discone and you've created a
"high pass" filter with your tuned 1/4 wave?

LOL, it seems to work the same way connected to all my
scanners/receivers...

That the discone(s) blows is a much better theory..IMO
