I bought this antena for the Uniden Handheld Scanner BC75XLT but I can hear only aircrafts not base stations. Any comments?

I get all the base stations and aircrafts do not know way you just get air band.try the att on your scanner put on and off.

it's hard to tell from the information you have mentioned but if you are speaking of not hearing " aircraft " base stations then unless you live close to the airport , that is normal. aircraft base stations are typically fairly low powered and have closer to the ground antennas designed to transmit mostly up into the air. the fact you are hearing aircraft suggests the antenna is working and that it's capable of hearing normal high powered base stations ( like police, trunking or pager transmitters ).

Remember, the 108-136MHz aircraft band is "line of sight" like other VHF frequencies. You will almost always hear aircraft better than the ground/tower at the airport. Just imagine having an antenna five miles high (altitude of a commercial jet airliner) vs 50 or 100 feet high at the airport tower.

This is a standalone antena and is only a passive antenna. You can hook up a powered gain box to draw more channels if needed.

Ok the antena &#128225; conector is the same are your car &#128663; no need any more but is no the same you need a antenna kit connector to resolve this problem this kit is very low price my apologies my English is bad.

This scanner antennae would be almost useless for transmitting purposes on the cb band. Particularly forA base unit.

Yes its much better than a scanner. Will work fine with a decent mobile antenna, unless your serious and want to spend some money and invest on really hearing. Otherwise yes to your question.

I was unable to pull any VHF stations (ch 2-13) with just the DB4e, despite being only about 10 miles away from the nearest tower. Once I added the Antennas Direct VHF diplole antenna (which plugs right into this antenna), I got them all clearly. I think it cost about $20 and mounted right on the same mast.

I purchased one of those systems, but I returned it. I found the UHF signal to be a lot better. I do not sell them either.

Give it a try. Let me know if it works for you and I will try it. I think my radio is the problem. What is the odds I get the only faulty antenna made. My Bose Wave has never picked up good signal.

Aviation band is basically line of sight. When the aircraft (or tower) is higher, the radio could receive better transmissions. BTW: Having a good antenna is key for great reception.

Hi,Thise antenas are especifically made to replace a standard Antenna on a router or on PCI cards that are also using the same type of connection.If you want to plug it on a laptop, only of you have a USB wireless card with external antenna. Which are quite rare. It's better to buy directly a USB card coming with a high gain antenna and plug this one on your router. Please note that the gain is substantial.... But sometimes it just makes the difference !

Try the external antenna (extended, switch it to external). Try another location in the house for the radio. Try orienting the antenna differently and at least a foot away from large metal objects (which could change the nature of the antenna or block the signal). Try using a dipole antenna located remotely, higher, or in the clear with respect to the desired station. This may mean a getting a balun ($5), some coax (several dollars), and a folded FM dipole antenna ($7). Finally, consider putting an RF preamplifier between the folded dipole antenna and the radio. If none of that helps, you have a difficult location, a faulty radio, or a requirement to receive a station with too weak a signal to your location. When it's finally working and you realize that it has a serious deficit in fidelity (muddy, bassy, little midrange, no highs), as I did, put a more ordinary radio nearby and turn it up just enough to hear the midrange and highs. The combined sound will be a lot more like you had hoped for to begin with. I am profoundly displeased with the lack of audio fidelity and range in this radio. It is essentially a subwoofer with a tuner and not much more. How people rate it so highly is a complete and utter mystery to me. A profound ignorance of audio fidelity in the population at large, I guess.

I'm sorry to say, neither. I tried three of these Sangean ANT-100 antennas on two different Sangean CL-100 radios and there was absolutely no signal improvement whatsoever on ANY band (AM, FM or NOAA). The signal I was receiving prior to attaching this "antenna" greatly degraded the moment I plugged it in. I also took the liberty of trying this "antenna" on several other radios in my home and unfortunately, I obtained the same result.In my opinion (and experience), this so-called "antenna" is literally worthless and Amazon should discontinue this product immediately.

First of all, outstanding choice for a base station. Unless you have a giant attic, about 25 feet or so including ground plane kit, this antenia wont work. We have it installed about 10 feet above the roof line and it performs outstanding. I feel your pain..... Consider another type of attic specific antenna knowing your attic dimensions. On the up side....You will have a stealth installation. Good Luck....Mike Long Beach Ca.

Hi, I can only speak to the PR-D5 as this is my first time using a Sangean of which I think are fabulous. I too, only listen to FM and must all stations come in clearly.Enjoy!

NOT COMPATABLE WITH APCO P25try the Uniden BCD-396xt or Radio Shack pro-106 or PSR-800 which is the only scanner that supports apco25 Phase 2 and X2 TDMA

Not good at all...I'm in your typical suberb approximately 60 miles from a major city. If I hit "scan" on my radio, it will only stop at one station which is our local radio station. Even if you only listen to FM for traffic reports or whatever, it'll drive you nuts. Save the money

In your 751 manual it will tell you which data cable to use. I know the CT-17 works on most Icom radios. If you do have problems, it would most likely be in the software settings. I also use a cable on my Omni 7. A different cable, but it really makes it nice, especially when you are using logging software. All of the data shows up correct on the log and you can click on a station from the DX cluster and it changes freq, band and mode instantly. A real nice tool!
