Bingfu VHF UHF Ham Amateur Radio Police Scanner Antenna Magnetic Base BNC Male Antenna Compatible with Uniden Bearcat Whistler Shack Police Scanner Radio

So, I found I needed multiple scanners and by default- multiple scanners capable of analog and digital radio reception.I found these- bought them since they came in a pack of 2. The come with the standard female RCA - male BNC ( push then twist to lock) connector.The magnetic mount is small and I would not use it on moving vehicles ( by itself) unless you can change to a stronger magnet.The antenna is small but is able to handle ( reasonable) manipulation.Reception is good, no detectable interference by using additional antennas nearby with multiple frequencies and formats being received.The price is not bad either.

I use a scanner primarily for listening to railroad. My brand new BearCat BC125AT picked up no railroad traffic whatsoever with the rubber duck antenna it came with. This magnetic antenna was a huge upgrade. It's very compact small enough even to use inside a vehicle. I have a luggage rack on my car sole it does a good job of keeping the antenna from blowing away despite not having a large heavy magnet. You may need another arrangement if you drive at high speed often. Installation was super simple and really picked up on the signal strength that I knew was already there. When I get to the tracks I just turn my scanner on reach out the window and snap this on the roof.

This antenna is decent for the price at $9.99. It’s not the best, but definitely not the worst either. The biggest issue I had is with the magnetic base—it’s not very strong. When I placed it on the top of my car, it kept flying off or sliding on the side of the window, which was frustrating. (Yes my car is magnetic)However, once I mounted it on the roof of my house (second floor), it worked great! The reception is much better compared to the stock antennas that come with most Uniden scanners. For the price, it’s a solid upgrade for indoor or stationary use, but it’s not ideal for vehicles.

I decided I needed a better antenna than the one thst came on my Uniden Bearcat scanner. This one wasnt expensive, had good reviews,and brings it in stronger and clearer. Of course, Id probably get further away if I had big one on my roof... but I get around 50 m radius (rural area) with this, and less static and hard to hear calls. As some pointrd out, the magnet isnt too stong, but thats not a big deal.

It’s ok. Wanted a low cost solution for a spare Radio Shack Pro-2018 desktop scanner. Reception is acceptable for my need. Smaller size is convenient for my location and cable is of adequate length. If you are looking for a low cost solution this would do.

Small, but produces a strong signal..Easy to hook up and use, very versatile.. price is great!

Spent 20 minutes running this wire through the trim panels of my car to hook it up to my 25w radio and take it for a test drive around town, just to find out it gets worse signal with my 25w radio than my 5w handheld gets with its stock rubber ducky antenna. Absolutely disgraceful and a waste of my time and money!

WORKS AS IT SDOULD
