On that subject, can anybody recommend a good portable
antenna for
use with the FCDP?
At home, I can pick out some (presumably) TETRA signals (in NRW, DE)
by hooking up to a DVB-T booster antenna I have and scanning around
420MHz.
As mentioned, portable laptop antennae like those for WLAN and DVB
aren't ideal. So I'd be interested in finding something to use
while out-and-about with the FCDP, which could be good for picking
up the most common TETRA bands.
I'm using a combination of digikey numbers ANT-418-CW-HWR-RPS-ND and
ACX12470ND with my FCDP.
The other thing that I've ordered (but not yet received) is a car
antenna with magnetic foot: Procom MU 4-MM/CEL4
(the MM indicates the magnetic foot, you can get any other mounting
option that Procom supports)
This is a 4dB gain antenna for the 414 - 430 MHz range.
They have other antennas for different ranges like 380-400 MHz (CEL5):

For the Procom antennas you typically need a FME cable plus a FME-SMA
adapter.
