I use a G5RV. It looks something like a center-fed dipole except that
where the center-fed feedline is connected actually is part of the
antenna and so it is 'T' shaped. The feedline that feeds off the bottom
of the 'T'. I have it set up so that it looks like an inverted V dipole
and the ends come down to about 10 feet off the ground. It works very
well and tunes up on 80,40, 20, 15 and some of the WARC bands (I make
the statement about the WARC bands not that I have them but a friend
who has the same antenna does and he can tune thos bands). The antenna
is home-brew and so you can make it with relatively little expense.
Anyone interested, send me some e-mail

These are both good radios, and at their sale prices, they're good buys.
They can scan, several different ways, but *only* in the ham bands. These
radios have narrow tightly filtered front ends to reduce the typical intermod
and overload problems from out of band signals that the wideband HTs on the
market suffer. If you are looking for a wide coverage scanner, complete with
birdies, images, intermod, and overload, then the Radio Shack radios aren't
for you. But if you want a solid ham bands only HT that won't suffer the
many ills of wideband scanning HTs, then they are a good choice.
