What kind of antenna are you using with your scanner? Presently I have
a discone mounted about 25 feet high. What is your favorite?

I myself love the Isotropic Antenna for scanning. The specs are amazing,
and no other antenna's specs can beat it.

Do you use the Isotropic feed line to your unit? Until I purchased the right
feed line it did not work properly, now it's perfect!

Well, it looked good on paper, but when I tried it with the antenna, it doesn't
seem to ever meet the specs in the real world conditions as it should when you
do the math.

It looks good on paper but with zero dbi gain it is a poor performer.
Add some loss in the feedline and you may not even hear any static.
