Best scanner antenna?

[Road Warrior]

I know that for a CB radio a very good antenna, Wilson 5000 for instance, makes all the differance, but what about a scanner, especially a DIGITAL scanner (396T), it's important what antenna you have or anything is good enough to listen to ALL police talk around you :?: :idea:

For 800mhz the Seeker 800mhz and the Wilson are the BEST. For multi purpose then the Diamond can not be beat

Does this go along with the Pro 97 too? (are these the best for this scanner?)

Thanks a lot happya$$... excellent links 8)
I will have to narrow it down a bit, the BCD396T covers a wide range from 25 MHz to 1.3 GHz... in the spring or summer I will go for a scanner and its best antenna...
Take care now :wink:

Well i use multiple antenna's which I think is the best worlds. I still got my Radio Shack 800mhz and I use a t-spliter to hook up my magnetic procommm to my scanner. Gernally covered through all ranges. The one thing i liked about the seeker 800 mhz was the VHF was great compared to my radio shack 800 mhz. I sold the seeker to a friend who seems to be buying all the antenna's i don't want

So Rob (you're the man ), what antenna do YOU recommend for the BCD396T, of course you know that the antenna MUST cover a 25Mhz to 1.3 GHz range :?:

Well what do you want to listen to???? Just the trunked radio system og the OPP? I would recommend the Seeker 800 MHz with a magnetic mount connector. But it all depends on what you want to listen too

Hi Rob, sorry for my 1-week absence, I was deeply involved in Canadian Federal Election, very happy that my Conservatives DEFEATED the Liberals, but now I'm back on this forum

What I want to listen to?... EVERYTHING, digital and trunking, in Ontario is OPP and Toronto police and any other local police...
TIA :wink:
