Snoop scanner antenna fits uniden bearcat, police radio
*Be sure to read through the description of the antenna below as most questions may be answered there*
Note: - No high loss black rg174 mini coax (8.4 db loss) or silver sprey paint (messy can peel and chip) used on any of my antennas whatsoever! (unlike Elsewhere)
Fits ALL Modern scanners that have the common BNC antenna connection. See pic 3 showing BNC connector.
The Snoop Scanner Antenna will pull in signals compared to those rubber or telescopic antennas that come stock with a scanner. The Snoop can be mounted anywhere and as high up all the way to your ceiling if desired. The Snoop covers the legal Scanner Frequencies in the 30 MHz to 1200 MHz range. *Police, Fire, Emergency, Weather, Military, Government, Public Highway, Taxi, Railroad 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 Snoop 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 Snoop Scanner Antenna will work (fit) on all 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 Snoop Scanner Antenna I don't use cheap black high loss RG - 174 mini coax which has 8.4db loss - (8.4db loss means wasted signal not getting to your scanner) like used elsewhere. I instead construct the antenna with Premium quality white RG59 Communications coaxial cable for "maximum signal transfer" to your scanner. This coax has a permanently attached nickel plated brass BNC connector with a gold plated contact for excellent conductivity hookup to your scanner. The Snoop copper helix is housed in solid durable ABS housing with top and bottom cap fittings. The Snoop has it's own mounting bracket pre installed and comes with two screws to mount the antenna to your desired location. All soldered connections soldered with safe lead free solder. This quality construction makes for an excellent durable antenna that will perform for many years of reliable service.
The Snoop Scanner Antenna is my "Original" design. I use only the best materials in making the Snoop as I would not have it any other way.
I have been into the radio hobby since 1977. I have been into Scanning, Shortwave, CB, AM DXing and Amateur Radio. I designed the Snoop Scanner Antenna it is my original design. The Snoop is "Hot" I am very proud of this antenna it is identical to the one I use for my BCT 8 scanner.
**Answer** to a question I have been asked about my coax used on my Snoop Antenna -
