What kind of antenna did you use to replace the stock antenna? I've ordered
a BC-296D and am waiting for it to arrive now, and am worried that I will
have the same problems.


Radio Shack makes a nice antenna if up plan on mainly listening in the
800Mhz range. I bought one for my bc245xlt. It is at:
