[Scan-DC] 800 mhz antenna for bc-396t

[Chas Armstrong]

Hi:

Yes, you are correct - it does come with a BNC/SMA antenna adapter.  In
fact, I'm using that now with the RS antenna that you recommend (which is
longer than the radio itself)- and it works much better than the stock
Uniden antenna.  However, I'm trying to capitalize on the size of this
scanner by finding the smallest quality 800mhz antenna available.  I carry
this radio around in one of my cargo pockets, and I'd like not to have an
antenna sticking out of my pants...

Thanks again,

  I could be wrong, but I think the 396 comes with a BNC/SMA adaptor; if so,
the RS 800 Mhz antenna that's been mentioned many times on other boards
should work like a champ.

Hi:

I'm looking to buy a new 800mhz antenna for my Uniden bc-396t scanner - I
monitor mostly trunked 800 systems so I am willing to forego reception on
the other bands.  I'd like a short 1/4 wave antenna.  Any suggestions?  The
connector is SMA.

Thanks,
