Scanner Mini-Magnet Antenna VHF/UHF/800MHz–1,300MHz with BNC-Male Connector

works for the airport scanner nicely

This is an excellent scanner antenna. I can hear police and fire on my pocket scanner mounted in my car from stations 20-25 miles away very clearly! The other thing that was really nice is that the RG-58 cable was very thin and was very easy to hide along the header of my SUV, as it would be a car. The only complaint I have is that the length of the cable is too short, (at least for an SUV, I have a 2014 GMC Terrain), to reach from the back window to the mid armrest, so I had to purchase a RG-58 extention, once I installed that, all was great! I have driven my car up to 90MPH, and the antenna held like cement! I have owned other TRAM Antenna and I think they are great!

It's a good antenna for what it is. Which is a temporary antenna for travel, at least in my case. I tested it inside my house and it receives pretty well on UHF, but much better on 800 MHz. Not enough VHF Hi around here for me to make a determination. For the price, it's well worth having.

This is by far the best mobile scanner Antenna I have owned. I am picking up scanner traffic from a couple of counties away.

Got this Oct of 2021. Has been on the vehicle and outside ever since. Signal has been excellent, using it with a Baofeng UV-5R. Today the magnetic base finally detached from the antenna where it was just held on by friction. After inspecting the inside of the antenna housing, I noticed the wiring was rusted, yet I noticed no obvious signs of signal interference. I cleaned it out as best I could and super-glued the magnet back on. It's time to replace it, but very good antenna for the price.

Would never buy a again

I thought my scanner was dead. All I was picking up was local (close by) high band traffic. I installed this antenna on the top of my window AC unit and the scanner came back to life! I do wish the cable was longer than 10’ so I could put it up on the roof but it certainly works great how I’ve got it. I can now hear all the digital traffic and high band traffic from an hour away! Well worth the price!

Thought the base would be bigger but it’s actually quite small. Regardless the magnet is quite strong, held on in 70+ mph driving. If yours doesn’t seem strong just take another magnet and rub them together and it will help the strength. Reception is much better as well. The stock antenna was alright for closer range, but with this antenna I can pick up much farther away. My scanner has svc band scanning and can easily pick up air traffic on this antenna. I mostly listen to rail traffic and pick up crews over a mile away as well as the dispatch. Only slight negative with this is the cable is a bit short to run through the truck completely hidden. It can be completely hidden but there’s not much left so the scanner needs to be placed farther back. Overall it’s really a good, low price extension for a small scanner.
