New Antenna??
« on: August 15, 2006, 01:07:31 AM »
Im am buying a new antenna soon so that the PIT feed and Cle Center feed each has its seperate antenna. the one i have now is this one http://www.antennawarehouse.com/Scanner/Scantenna.htm it works very well for the CLE Center feed but is terrible on the PIT feed. I was just going to buy the same antenna again but, does anyone know of any other ones that are better but around the same price?

A good and cheep antenna is a wire antenna. You may want to try a cheep rool of speaker wire and an clip. I used a random wire antenna on my ZOB Algonac aria feed and it worked quite well.

connect the clip to the end of the wire, then connect the clip to the end of the antenna on your radio. String the wire out a window or something them extend the wire as high as you can. This antenna will need some fine-tuning though for it to work best, it hit or miss.
