This mobile antenna mounted on my roof of my vehicle works so great...chp VHF low 42mhz pulls great into my bc 15x. All bands sound amazing. I did have to paint it flat black since copper was showing. The antenna is made with quality parts and attention to detail. I had to tune the low band for California highway patrol. I give this antenna 5 stars.

Spectra for police?

I have this antenna and the one from Comtelco. The Comtelco outperforms the Spectra at 155mhz where most police/fire channels are found on the west coast. The Comtelco does need additional sealing as rain gets in past the rubber washer (minor problem). I can't testify about the use of the antenna at other frequencies.

Best Antenna on the Market!

I've been using/installing scanners and two-way radios in a mobile environment for over 10 years. I was looking for something that would perform well between 40mhz & 50mhz but still work reasonably well at uhf. This antenna completely exceed my expectations, even out-performing my mono-band antenna.
Following the instructions I tuned the antenna for 40-50mhz, which shortened the antenna by about 4 inches. Friends you can't go wrong with this antenna. It's a little more expensive than the others, but well worth every penny. I plan on purchasing more for other vehicles in the fleet.

Good Mobile Antenna

Five stars for five star performance. I am particularly impressed with the performance on the VHF Low band. Putnam Co fire still uses low band, and I have no problem hearing mobiles in the eastern half of the county. VHF Hi performance...listened to my sheriff department while I was out in Newington, a good fifty miles off. UHF and 800 performance is excellent as well. All around good all band antenna that served me well driving out to Idaho and back. A worthwhile investment for the serious mobile monitor.
Sweet antenna
