Default my new antenna


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


Ed


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.

Well, had I responded earlier, I'd have suggested the Diamond DJ-
130.... well made, goes for about $100, but as you have mentioned
already, only is spec'd for an upper end of 1300 MHz. But then again,
I can not think of any voice traffic that you would find beyond about
900MHz area, anyway. Good luck.
