The Stridsberg multicouplers are a great product for feeding an antenna signal
to multiple receivers. But, a second antenna might be a better way to go ... depending on what you are trying to monitor. For instance, if you were trying to monitor agencies on VHF, UHF and 800 MHz, it might be better to use the Firestick and one scanner for the VHF and UHF, and use the other scanner and an antenna designed for 800 MHz to monitor the 800 systems and channels. Although the Firestick (and many other antennas) claim to work through 1000 MHz, their performance at 800 MHz and above is often very poor. I use an 800 pigtail antenna (NMO mount on an "L" bracket) for the local 800 systems, and it is also useable for local VHF / UHF repeaters. Pigtails are available from radio shops, hamfests and mail order in black and chrome - to go with the color of the vehicle. Jeff Multer Fort Mill, S.C. |
