VHF-Hi/UHF RadioShack Antenna

Check out my Police Scanner Blog at http://PoliceScannerInfo.blogspot.com

This a VHF-Hi/UHF Outdoor Scanner Antenna by RadioShack ( http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103641&cp=2032052.2032075.2032078.2032098&parentPage=family ). The antenna is about 20 inches long. It is almost 30 feet above the ground. The pole is actually a sailboarding mast; an acquaintance of mine broke the pole at the bottom and gave it to me, so I just sawed the bad part off. I get very good reception with it. However, it sometimes receives too well and picks up interference on some channels. All in all though, it is a very good addition to any police scanner. I can listen to communications from five counties! The BNC outlet was bought off eBay.

At the beginning of the video, I used my little old Uniden FRS400 to make a creative introduction. The scanner you see at the end of the video is a Uniden BCD396T Trunktracker IV ( http://www.uniden.com/products/productdetail.cfm?product=BCD396T&filter=Handheld ). I also have an RS Pro-91, which is why I have two BNC cords hooked up to the antenna.

Note: the reason I have it black & white and high contrast at 0:57-1:00 is because I did not want to show my house, but at the same time, I wanted people to view the full size of the pole.
