Will this antenna work with my scanner?

It fits radios with a BNC female jack, which covers many handheld and desktop scanners. Radios with SMA or N-type connectors need an adapter.

Does it really give 7 dBi across 20-1300 MHz?

Treat 7 dBi as a peak figure, not a flat gain across the band. Real gain varies by frequency, and low-band VHF reception will be weaker than the number suggests.

Can I use it in a car?

Yes, the magnetic base mounts on the roof or trunk. Route the 10 ft cable through a door or window seal and check the magnet holds at highway speed.

Four antennas, each with a 3 m (10 ft) cable and a BNC male connector. No adapters or mounts beyond the magnetic base are included.

Is it better than the stock antenna on my handheld?

Usually yes for range, because the antenna is longer and can sit higher on a metal surface. The gain is modest, so expect a clear improvement on strong local signals rather than long-distance reception.

Our take on the Four Pack Police Scanner Antennas 20 to 1300MHz 7dBi

This is a four-pack of wideband scanner antennas covering 20 MHz to 1300 MHz with a claimed 7 dBi gain and 50 ohm impedance. Each antenna has a 3 m (10 ft) cable, a BNC male connector and a magnetic base for mounting on metal surfaces. The bundle suits people who want to upgrade several radios at once, such as scanners, handheld ham radios and two-way radios. Against single-antenna rivals it wins on quantity and band coverage, but the magnetic mount and thin cable limit it next to dedicated base or mobile antennas with proper grounding and higher build quality.

Pros

Covers a wide 20-1300 MHz range in one antenna
Four antennas in the pack, one per radio
BNC male connector plugs into most scanners directly
Magnetic base holds on metal surfaces
10 ft cable gives room to place the antenna away from the radio

Cons

7 dBi gain is a broad claim that is unlikely to hold across the whole band
Magnetic base can shift on rough roads or at speed
Thin coax loses signal on weak distant stations
BNC-only connector needs an adapter for SMA or N-type radios
No tuning or ground plane, so performance varies by setup
