Which is better?

is scantenna really omnidirectional? is it built for a better reception

the most used frequencies or is really multiband?

who sells the better implementation of discone?

I have three scantennas and they work much much better than any discone
I've yet to own. In the last 5 years I have thrown away 2 discones (even
the Diamond $100+) because they didn't come close to what the
AntennaWarehouse ScanTennas could do.

Most of my listening is 225-400 MHz however have compaired them on many
other freqs as well.

I got my ScanTennas from
http://www.antennawarehouse.com/Scanner/Scantenna.htm (AntennaWarehouse).
Free shipping and speedy delivery.

Interesting, I've never seen one of these antennas until now (followed your
link). It looks to me like an abbreviated Discone? Does someone know
electrically what this device is?
