Disconne Or Scantenna Brand Antenna For Scanner Frequencies ?
Hello,
For an antenna to be mounted in my attic, and for the typical scanner frequencies, am I better off with a Disconne, or with a Scantenna brand antenna ? Why ? Also, am I right that the Scantenna is Omni-directional ? Thanks, Bob |

For a scanner you probably wouldn't notice any difference between it and a commercial one. A guy I know used a bicycle wheel for the top hat and wires for the cone. He also reckons that its a reasonable match on two as well. -- Best Regards: Baron. |

Ive done this in a pinch for a TV antenna, never tried it on a ham band but if you pick the right size wheel I cant see why it wouldnt work. Jimmie |
