Dipole police scanner antenna fits radio shack pro ems
The Super Dipole is very easy to use and hook up, 1. Plug the (8 foot) coax to your scanners BNC antenna connector and 2. Tack the antenna to your wall and your ready to go.
The Super Dipole will pull in signals compared to those rubber or telescopic antennas that come stock with a scanner. The Super Dipole only takes up roughly 4 feet of space so it can easily be hidden out of sight. The Super Dipole covers the legal Scanner Frequencies in the 30 MHz to 1200 MHz range. *Police, Fire, Emergency, Weather, Military, Railroad, Government, Taxi, Public Highway Etc* As Well As Covering The Aircraft Band 108-137 MHz* *And will also work to Monitor (listen) to those ham bands 2 meter, 6 meter and 70-cm*
**As an added bonus** You will get a link to one of the *Largest Frequency Databases* to where you can program your scanner with LOCAL frequencies from YOUR AREA. YOU WILL NEED these frequencies to set up your (new) scanner for monitoring all the action. You get them here along with my Super Dipole Scanner Antenna to receive them. *Site covers most continental U.S States and Counties with current periodic updates. **This** is a free added bonus no guarantees implied that the site will have your specific location but with around 97% coverage the chances are good. **This site can also be VERY VALUABLE for like when on vacation in a hotel or camping. Just look up the frequencies before you leave of where you will be staying and copy or print them. That way you can take your scanner with you and be able to monitor the action where you are staying.**
The Super Dipole Scanner Antenna will work (fit) on all modern scanners that have a BNC antenna hookup such as Uniden, Radio Shack, Aor and many more *Including the NEW Digital Models* *Click On Picture #3 To See Plug*
In making my Super Dipole Scanner Antenna I don't use cheap black high loss mini coax which has 8.4 db loss (8.4db loss means wasted signal not getting to your scanner) like used elsewhere. I instead construct the antenna with premium quality white RG 59 communications coaxial cable for "maximum signal transfer" to your scanner. This coax has a permanently attached nickel plated brass BNC connector that has a gold plated center contact for excellent conductivity hookup to your scanner. The dipole antenna (top part) is constructed of insulated copper antenna wire that is color coded for easy installation. All soldered connections soldered with safe lead free solder. This construction makes for an excellent Durable Antenna that will perform for many years of reliable service.
