Hi,

I have a Uniden 996 scanner and would really like to pick up some marine
traffic from Boston Harbor.
Live about 20 miles due west of the harbor.

No idea what to buy, if you feel it's worth a try ?

Thoughts ?


I googled for marine band colinear and got this near the top:
http://buyreliant.com/marine/5102.htm It's way cheaper than some name-brand
competitors, like Shalespeare, but you're not going to be stressing it on a
boat, so give it a try on your rooftop or chimney.
