Can anyone recommend a good long range BNC handheld scanner antenna for 800
MHz trunking signals?

The city here went to 800 about 8 years ago and I tried several. The Radio
Shack 800 one seems to work better than anything else I have tried, at least
here. I can seem to pick up things well until the Police get so far away the
radio in their car is having trouble getting through.

any high gain 800/900MHz antenna for a handheld two way radio will work fine
