newbie needs help with selecting indoor antennas
Hi
I bought a Bearcat 800XLT couple years ago and just now started to listen late at nite. The top antenna is still intacked but the back one is missing. I live in a heavy wooded area with 2 -14 story towers in front and a monster size pine tree on the edge of my patio facing my living room where my scanner is located. I have been looking into discones but this is a rental, no drilling holes. Can some one in group please advise me what type of indoor antenna to purchase as I have no clues what is good or not worth the money. I have seen some discones that clip on your windows but don't want to take the screens out of my windows as there are a lot of wild life in my area. Any help I would be grateful. Private e-mail welcome. |

WROTE: Get one of the Micro Mag Triband antennas such as this one from RandL Set it on a pizza pan or cookie sheet and it move it around until you get the best reception. Sorry R&L isn't big on pictures, but they are an honest retailer. http://www.randl.com/cgi-local/cart/...3Dmoreinfo&ti= tle=3DSearch%20by%20Keyword%20%3A%20Results%20Page ------------------------------------------------------ RESPONSE: Thanks Mike, will call them Monday. |

If I had 14 story towers in my front yard I'd be doing some serious climbing
and putting up all kinds of discones and beams... then I'd be leasing out tower space to make a few bucks on the side. Sounds like a location most of us just dream of.
