Anteenna TW-999BNC BNC Male Handheld Antenna Scanner Antenna (20-1300MHz) with BNC Male Connector for Scanner Radio and Frequency Counters

FELL APART 4 MONTHS LATER

I live in a rural area where there is no analog state patrol, so half the purpose of having an analog scanner is defeated. As others have commented it can make a handheld scanner top-heavy. If you listening to the 400 band it works great without expanding. If you prefer to listen to the 100 band, extend the antenna about halfway out. For even lower frequencies extend it all the way out (i.e. listening to truckers on their CB radios). One thing I can say is that it reduces bleed overs if you are next to another scanner- something a stock antenna fails to accomplish.

Good

Great great antenna

Pretty good value, works very well, good quality.

did not used, easy to return

Strong reception

Works in rural, open space areas with weak signals from distant repeaters. Fully extended receives 20-50 MHz well, yet can be collapsed and still receive 150 - 174 MHz and 400 - 510 MHz signals. Do not know about 700 MHz or higher as I have not heard transmissions in my local area.

works for Uniden BCD436HP HomePatrol Series Digital Handheld Scanner

Great for railfanning with amazing range & clear transmissions.
