I have an AirNav RadarBox 3D that still uses the default little antenna. I've stuck it to a tile on the roof and it doesn't do a bad job, lol. I might get a proper outdoor antenna at some point
- S @ sammylad: what do you think of the Skyscan Desktop 25-2000MHz????
- S @ sammylad: yes thats the connection i need for it ...thank you so much for your help i will be looking at that antenna
- S @ sammylad: yes it is for aircraft ..i was hoping to get a better antenna ..but dont know what to getthats better than the standard 1 i have for it

The sbs-1e is for tracking aircraft, isn't it? I think that will have an SMA connector for an antenna, and the Diamond-D777 is not made for those bands (It's a scanner antenna). I'll see if I can find a link to an ideal antenna for your radar box.
- S @ sammylad: sory for flooding the room
- S @ sammylad: it doesent have bnc plug that i need ..they told me Skyscan Desktop 25-2000MHz Scanner Antenna would be best
- S @ sammylad: i ssked about theDiamond D-777
- S @ sammylad: to bnc
- S @ sammylad: ok thank you for the help ....1 more lol...i have the sbs-1e base station i need to change the antenna fitting tobnc...

For an all-rounder, try a discone. I've got a Moonraker Scan King Vertical and I'm not that impressed with it. Wish I'd gone for a discone, I might replace it! For airband though, my Diamond D-777 is a beast, love it!
- S @ sammylad: i have the bct15x and whistler trx-2 im new to it all so looking to a bit of everything

@sammylad what do you want to listen to? For airband I'd say the Diamond D-777 as that's a brilliant antenna.
- S @ sammylad: whats the best antenna for whistler trx-2
