I have been monitoring the Airbands for 32 years and most of that i always had custom made antennas for the airbands and another option is the Diamond-D777 which i got 2 of these antennas and they work very well and they cover from 118Mhz-300Mhzis very hard to get in australia.

Hello the Uniden is easy to programm but the Icom has a wide frequency coverage and you can buy the software for it & load up the frequencies & it will only take a few minutes.The Icom is way smaller in size than the Uniden.
