If it works improved you could potentially utilize a diplexer to have the Omni-X go as many as 500MHz after which you can the diplexer will utilize the dipole for everything previously mentioned 600MHz.
i failed to return in the thread to check out what freqs your public security is on, but, assuming it's within the seven-hundred-850 MHz range, how can it be executing picking These up? any more distant municipalities the outside antenna is buying up, vs/ the original whip?
- Set up was basic & straight forward, with only the four radials to attach ahead of mounting it about the mast (I had an installer do that aspect for me).
.but I'm no engineer so i can't say A great deal..I am aware i like my scantenna and it at the same time beat my discone..I may check out a single of such as i am while in the adhere's and when it will conquer my scantenna all i could say is WOW!Kinda favors one of them nil jon antenna's
I approach to get the antenna up just a little larger than now it is, and I am seeking to find a tower, so I may get up around 60ft... Just desired to tell you the amount of I am enjoying this thing."
a hundred and twenty miles + by having an indoor attic antenna? Which mountain have you been atop? I doubt any scanner/antenna will get that fantastic of a radius, In spite of an outside beam with pre-amp.
I acquired it up One particular INCH better and it produced a major variation! That zone is a great deal more steady With all the sign. One inch. Every little thing else is comprehensive scale. What exactly is annoying is I Reside near Providence and before the scanner couldnt even lock on to your Handle channel. The mag mount antenna actually gave a steady reliable signal. But I assume 800mhz radio waves with P25 are fickle. You might want to putz all over with antenna top/locale.
Quoted: I have not completed this in four+ many years, but applying WIN500 software and Radio Reference it was not much too hard.
I am unable to get it up as superior as I'd want to as a result of HOA police, but it is a visible enhancement from The hand held scanners rubber duck, which is for sure!
That is excellent to below that it is Performing very good for you personally. I've Dave's VHF LP and is very good and very reliable.
"Just a quick note to mention thank you. I acquired an Omni-X from you months in the past, and finally installed it today. The antenna and directions are firstclass and It really is currently out-carrying out the 20-176 it tgagrand replaced and also the ST-two it sits just earlier mentioned.
Like I reported, the dipole I had been applying at some time was Reduce for VHF Superior! I attempted making an 800 mhz vertical dipole but gave up due to absence of fabric.
Received the antenna and mast and was on how out to setup it to the playhouse roof. The only thing that stopped me was the thunder and lightning. I learn about the inverse rule of putting up an antenna in adverse temperature, but I draw the line at lightning though holding a metallic rod!
The cable run is the same RG6 that arrived With all the Scantenna invest in Once i had that put in about five decades ago. I was relatively satisfied with the effectiveness and did not want to speculate in owning that adjusted out.
