Hi all,
I was looking at this product:

And was wondering what the performance would be like, for receive only.
Transmitting I can tell most of you will say don't bother and I would have to agree transmitting from inside a car at window angle wouldn't do wonders for range.
But my application would just be a scanner, I currently use a normal 477Mhz antenna and it works tip top for anything. I am also trialling a mobile phone like on glass 477Mhz for receive only and it works fine as well (maybe 20% worse than the normal external antenna for far away signals).
Thoughts? Maybe I should be the Guinea pig? If it was a few dollars I wouldn't hesitate, but $55 (and on eBay) is a bit steep.
