What is a good outdoor antenna to use for a Uniden BC796D?

LPDA mounted on a 200ft mast with a rotator feeding into AirCommplus
cable or better with a lownoise preamp sitting at the feeding point.


Can I have YOUR budget. Open for adoption ????



A 200' "mast"?.... Be it a mast or tower, in most cases - you would have
to
have to now apply for a permit to install it - from your city/borough
government, as most codes now days don't allow for those things. I doubt
they would allow a mast. As for a "tower", assuming you get the permit
from
the local government, then you have to see if it will need registered with
the FCC. There again, paperwork. Then there is the cost of the 200' tower.
Not a cheap investment. And all this for a "SCANNER"? I don't think so.
Out
of most people's reach and over kill.


He asked for the best. I would go with 300' to be safe for future
expansion.

All I can say is, I hope you don't live in Florida. No guarantee how long it
will stand! Not this year, anyway.
