Hello,

Will be purchasing a scanner, and like most scanners these days, has a range
of about 30 MHz to 1.2 GHz.

Thanks,

Best scanner antenna I ever found was a discone mounted high, ~40 ft.
above ground.

I was able to pick up much traffic from even surrounding towns and
cities ... not perfect but provided more than was needed.
