The stock indoor seems fine for local VHF but not too good on the 800 mhz
trunked system. How does the dicone work on the 800 mhz band?

Any recommendations for an antenna to put in the attic for use with a
bc895xlt scanner. Will be for general scanning and not on any particular
frequency. Dimensions would be helpful if anyone has this.

Radio shack discone? Fairly broadbanded...A simple ground plane will
work fairly well for most freq's. Depends on the range you want to
cover. A GP cut for hi-band VHF will do a passable job on UHF as a
psuedo 5/8 wave of sorts. Most public service signals are fairly
strong unless you are in the sticks, so it should't be real critical.
