Ireplaced my rubber ducky with a Diamoond srh 77ca,and was happy with it.Then,I read some good things about the Condor.I thought it was a littlepricey,but ordered one anyway.I hadn't paid any attention to the size,so when it came,I was like wow! this thing is huge.It's long but not very heavy.Iput it on the radio,and fired it up.I was surprised it pulledin systems better than theDiamond,and I thought the diamond was very good compared to the stockIf you have a high end scanner,and are looking for an antenna to wake it up,this one deserves a try

I have noticed it does about the same or worse than the rubber duck antenna that came with my Uniden Bearcat BCD396XT.

Getting beyond the looks

I am trying hard to not like this antenna, and on looks alone that would be easy. This antenna is a mighty beast...but, when it comes to reception, so far, it is one of the best I own. Head-to-head against the Watson Super-gainer the Condor is best up in the 800 mhz getting better signal and clarity at greater distances. The super-gainer is slightly better at VHF reception. Overall so far so good.

another not so tough review

Owned the Austin Condor 2-3 years, used on a 396XT worked great until recently. The 396XT would only receive sites when I was within 1/2 mile or so and it was poor and scratchy. I was frequently switching between the Austin Condor and a mobile mounted antenna so perhaps the SMA connector on the antenna broke internally. Went back to the stock portable antenna.
Great antenna for uniden bcd436hp 
works well but large
