📻 Anteenna TW-999BNC: Handheld Scanner Antenna (20-1300MHz) for Radio Scanners & Frequency Counters Review

I use this antenna instead of the standard antenna that comes with the Uniden SDS100. That's great. I can shoot from repeaters nearly 100+ miles away from about 1100 feet.

Perfect fit for my Uniden SDS100, just be careful as a fully extended link can come loose. However, this is not a disadvantage of this product, any retractable antenna will do.

Bought for my Uniden handheld radio scanner. That works great. There may be better ones, but I haven't seen it. This works very well. I tested several others and they outperformed them. It replaces my rubber duck antenna which didn't work well in my area.

Well made telescopic antenna with BNC connector. Suitable for any radio with this connection. It's 48 inches long, which is enough to put out a decent signal for a portable CB set, especially when compared to the useless rubber antenna that comes with most portable CB sets. Portable or scanner, especially if you listen to the low frequency range (30 to 50 MHz).

I can get planes to talk to NY Flies about 45 miles in the NY area so I would say the range for the price is good. I have one on the Uniden BC125AT scanner and the range with this antenna is better than the stock antenna. I have to say that it wobbles on the connector compared to the Uniden antenna that came with it. It's a bit annoying because when you open it all the way, it wobbles noticeably.

I have a Midland 75-785 and a Uniden Pro 401 HH both with a standard rubber antenna. This limited her line of sight and did not allow her to be used for car-to-car transmission. I fixed these antennas and went for a walk. I was able to communicate with a radio in the house 1/3 mile away. Obstacles such as trees, other houses and a small hill were overcome. Great product! I can recommend it. 4 stars because the antennas on both radios are not as tight as the standard antennas.

I live in a rural area where there is no analogue state patrol so half the purpose of an analogue scanner is lost. As others have pointed out, this can make a handheld scanner too heavy. If you're listening to the 400 band, it works fine without the extension. If you prefer to listen to the 100 band, extend the antenna about halfway. Expand it fully for even lower frequencies (e.g. listen to truckers on their CB radios). All I can say is that it reduces blur when you're close to another…
