I keep reading discones cover a very wide frequency. Are these truly
the best scanner antenna to have? Or would a ground plane tuned to the
freqency you are listening to be better?
It depends - a ground plane may work better than a discone for the
frequency range for which the ground plane is tuned, however it would
probably be hard to notice the difference. A discone will definitely
work better than a ground plane for frequency ranges far from the
intended range of the ground plane. If you are looking for one antenna
to monitor several different bands, a discone is a nice way to go.
