[Scan-DC] A good portable antenna for BCD396T?

[oldsdoug at hotmail.com]

John P, where are you and are you having reception problems?  I'm curious because I just got a 396 and am really pleased with it... I'm in Gaithersburg and am picking up all kinds of stuff on the 396 that I'm _not_ getting_ on the 796 (admittedly indoors, connected either to an old Lafayette ground-plane antenna in the attic, or from the "rabbit ear".)  I'm hearing Arlington. Alexandria, and Howard (800 meg trunked systems) easily when outside or in the car in the Rockville area, and have never heard any of them on the 796.  I haven't yet heard anything from Frederick MD or the MWAA system, but not sure whether I'm out of range or if my programming is no good...

Regards,

Doug
