Customer Reviews for Sky Scan Mobile Scanner Antenna

Sort by:

In contrast to the 'miniscan antenna' (see my review) the Sky scan, has RG58 cable, large magmount base and an overall robust construction. There are several differing lengths of antenna built into one unit apparently designed to provide optimum peformance on each bandwith. I've compared peformance against the Miniscan, bearing in both are advertised as 'wideband' and found the miniscan to marginally outperform the Skyscan on HAM and Airband (not tested on other bands) - This has led me to conclude the multiple antenna design is a bit of a 'gimmick'. Nevertheless a vast improvement over the standard rubber ducks available of any description. In conclusion, Choose this antenna over the 'Miniscan' based on the fact its a much more robust piece of kit rather than a promise of additonal performance. Overall a fantastic antenna for mobile use able to stand the rigours of use.

Surprisingly effective for its size, good patch lead and mag mount, although keep it dry as it can rust if left out in the rain.

I live 8 miles from London City and wanted to hear Tower transmissions. I didn't want the hassle and expense of installing a 'proper' external aerial so I bought this for the loft. I have windows up there so I made a simple metal plate allowing me to temporarily locate this outside on the roof via its magnetic base, running the moulded cable through the open window. Reception is very good and noticably better when outside. It performs pretty well indoors though and is offers a big improvement over my rubber duck aerial. It is well built but is perhaps a little overpriced relative to its performance. I'm pleased overall.
