The 100 ft. of RG-6 is going to really hurt your reception at 800 Mhz (at
least 6 db or so).

If interested, I will sell you a MAX 800 (800 MHz ground plane antenna)
CHEAP! It's the first one pictured on this site:

Hi all,

I am looking for some plans to build myself a scanner antenna to
improve reception at home (Base). I am only interested in the 800mhz
trunked frequencies at the moment. I get no reception at with the
ducky and other mobile antennas I have purchased. To get the data
channel to lock in, I have to drive into town to pick anything up. :-(

I have :

BC 235xlt
100 feet of RG6 coax to the roof

Can you point me to some plans?

Many thanks!
