I'm a newbie upgrading to a 3GHz scanning system so I'm no looking round for recommedations and feedback on antennas that perform
up to 3GHz. I would rather spend extra for a professional level antenna than go for a cheaper option. The AOR DA5000 looks good
but I'd appreciate any tips before I start shelling out money. I'm currently scanning with a D130 discone which works well but it
only goes up to 1300MHz. Thanks for any advice.

You will be lucky if you pick up ANYTHING worth listening to above 400Mhz

There's alot around 400-500 as steve terry said in his reply,
and around 800-1000 there's alot of analogue repeaters,
shortrange stereo wireless/headphone, and cordless phones.
