Antenna

[tesco1]

Anyone know what the quality of a Sharmans Multi Band Antenna is like in comparison to a Discone.

[rocket]

Which one - SE1500 (Superscan?)

[tesco1]

Sharmans wideband Multi-Scan base scanner antenna.

[rocket]

This is AKA the SE1500 (called different things by different suppliers)

What is your main area of listening interest?

[tesco1]

Wideband, Air, CB, Taxis, etc

[rocket]

Then the SE1500 then I'd say. The base double discone is quite good too but is obtrusive and prone to wind damage.

If you want a really good airband antenna then go for a Diamond D777

Thanks rocket, by the way have you heard of a Eurostick DX 25-2000Hz Base scanner Antenna, any reports? will keep the SE1500 in mind, also need decent cable for 25 metres, somebody mentioned Westlfex 103.

[rocket]

Eurostick is OK, but not as good as the SE1500 performance wise and construction quality isn't as good either.

Westflex is perhaps a bit overkill, condider RG8X Mini 8 as it should be OK for that length (also cheaper)
