Title: Scanner Antennas
Post by: ahughes on April 17, 2008, 08:56:45 PM

Hello guys,
I have bought a VHF Air Vertical Antenna (http://www.dpdproductions.com/page_vhf_air.html), with this antenna,
I can pick up nearly all traffics in the airspace I'm monitoring.
But some tfcs on the edge of the airspace i nearly can't pick them up.
Is there any antenna you guys can suggest me that will get them?

You might want to try to amplify the signal, with an amplifier from radioshack. That might give you the little extra power you need?
