Revainrating 4 out of 5

It works out! Read more:

Purchase and install this antenna with immediate positive results. I am using a Uniden/Bearcat BC125AT scanner in mountainous terrain. Forest and forest fires were nearby last summer. I wanted to track fire reports and crews and have the most up-to-date information. The standard antenna worked, but distant radio traffic was difficult to pick up. This antenna seems to receive clearer and further, so after a few hours of use I can immediately tell that there is a big difference to the standard flexible rubber antenna. Now this antenna is longer and less flexible than the one that the radio came with. The tip of the antenna is very flexible, but the center is rigid. It curves closer to the base, but I'd say "less stiff" than the central part. When using a radio belt clip, the antenna sits at about shoulder height and seems a little out of the way. You just have to get used to it. The radio is primarily used in trucks and ranch vehicles as well as around the home, shop and barn, so I don't care the length of the antenna like it's on my belt all the time. All in all this could be a 5 star product as time will tell. The price per dollar is definitely worth it. Good luck and I hope you enjoy your purchase as much as I did.
