Help with Antenna Selection

Post by chainz »

Hey guys. i'm using a UBCD396XT in Ballarat victoria and am looking for a antenna to mount onto my scanner only. I want to listen to the emergency services and was looking at the mobileone scanducky and the diamond 771 but the problem is the police and fire transmit on 163mhz, So how would the antennas perform with those frequencies?
