Alinco DJ-X3 antenna
 

I'm looking for a better antenna for my dj-x3 to be able to receive signals
better. It would preferably have to cover the whole range of the X3
(0.1-1300MHz) as there are frequencies all across it's range that I listen
to. I live in a flat so roof or wall mounted is not an option but I would
also like to be able to use it in the car and it not be too expensive.
Thanks

Aside from advertising hype, there's no such thing. Or, rather,
anything that conducts electricity will act as an antenna, but it will
only act as a good antenna over a relatively small range of
frequencies. (Even a multi-band antenna only works well over a small
percentage of the range you posted.)

I would also like to be able to use it in the car

Remember that, to have any efficiency at all, an antenna has to
reasonably approach 1/4 wavelength of the frequency it's receiving.
(Even 0.1 wavelength will give you some reception.) At 0.1 MHz,
you're talking about a wavelength of 9,835 feet, so the shortest
antenna that has any hope of working is going to be almost 100 feet
long - hardly something you can use on a car.

Get a decent scanner, the DJ-X3 is rubbish.

What would you suggest as a good scanner that has wide coverage.
