YES THE SCANMASTER AIRBAND DOUBLE DISCONE WORKS WELL.

But you could make one for a few pounds.

Dual or Tri-band band amateur antennas have internal matching networks
which can give poor results when used outside their intendend
frequency ranges.

They can work reasonably well upto approx. +/- 20% outside their
design frequencies (plus a few odd harmonic resonses), which may be OK
for PMR monitoring. But it will not provide good coverage of the whole
of the UHF MIL air band.

I use a Double discone and can monitor re-broadcast satcom traffic in
the UHF Mil band, so I think it is good enough.....

I am after a good V/UHF airband antenna and found this on a Google search.
Anybody actually own one and can tell me how they perform?
