Cost from Universal Radio was $126, which seems like a lot, but I did
my homework narrowing down the choices from WinRadio, which was the
only other covering the range my receiver can pull in, and a couple
others with use extending only to 1300 MHz.


Is there anything worth monitoring above 1300 MHz? Just wondering.

You got me, I don't have the experience to know what I'm doing. Other
antennas, more expensive and heavy, can cover from 300-4000 MHz, but I
was reacting to negative comments about Radio Shack and a couple
others that are a lot less expensive, as low as $30 on eBay. One
opinion I read is that those advertised as going only to 1300 MHz can
actually function higher.
