I have the Realistic Programmable scanner with 200 programable channels. A lot of range there like 6 m, 2 m, 70 cm, marine, etc etc etc, wide range. Realistic scanners have model numbers. Could I trouble you to disclose the exact model number? Do you have a tower? I want to put up an external antenna that I can hook it up to its own BNC connection for external antenna. I believe the higher the better. Forget about using long wire antennas as a scanner antenna. At VHF/UHF, long wires look more like big RF chokes. It's unlikely to hear much connected to an HF antenna. There are numerous scanner antennas on the market. If you have a tower for your HF antenna, you also should have room for a discone, "spider", trapped vertical, or something similar. I don't know exactly what to recommend as broadband antennas are always a compromise between gain, bandwidth, vertical radiation takeoff angle, size, etc. Something on this list should work (except for the handheld and mobile scanner antennas). http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/scanants.html RG-58a/u or RG-58c/u to between the scanner and antenna will probably need to purchases seperately. Attach your own BNC or UFH connectors. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
