Our take on the Laird ABSCANC 150/450/800 Scanner Antenna

The Laird ABSCANC is a tri-band scanner antenna tuned for 150, 450 and 800 MHz reception, covering VHF high-band, UHF and the public-safety 800 MHz range. It uses a standard NMO mount with a Motorola-style base, so it fits the common hole-mount, trunk-lip and magnetic NMO bases already used in vehicles and at home. Gain is unity, meaning it is a receive-oriented design rather than a high-gain directional antenna, and the 16-inch whip keeps it low-profile. It suits scanner listeners who want one antenna for analog and digital public-safety, business and amateur traffic across all three bands.

Best forScanner listeners monitoring 150/450/800 MHz trafficVehicle installs with an existing NMO mountHome or attic setups using an NMO baseUsers who want one low-profile whip for multiple bands
Pros
  • Covers three common scanner bands in one antenna
  • Standard NMO base fits many existing mounts
  • 16-inch whip stays low-profile on a vehicle
  • Unity gain gives a broad, forgiving receive pattern
  • Handles up to 200 W, well beyond scanner needs
Cons
  • Unity gain means less reach than a dedicated high-gain antenna
  • Tri-band tuning is a compromise; performance varies by band
  • Requires an NMO mount, which is not included
  • Not a transmit antenna for most amateur or commercial radios

What reviewers say

Owner feedback on tri-band NMO scanner whips like this one is generally positive for receive coverage, with users noting it pulls in 150, 450 and 800 MHz signals from one mount. Complaints center on band-by-band performance differences and the need to supply your own NMO base.

What people mention
  • Band coveragePraisedOwners like getting 150, 450 and 800 MHz reception from a single NMO whip.
  • GainMixedUnity gain keeps the pattern broad but gives up reach compared with high-gain designs.
  • MountingMixedThe NMO base is convenient for existing installs, but buyers must supply the mount and cable.
  • SizePraisedThe 16-inch whip is short enough to stay out of the way on a vehicle.

Questions and answers

Does this antenna need a separate mount?
Yes. It uses a standard NMO base, so you need an NMO mount and coax, such as a hole mount, trunk-lip mount or magnetic base.
What bands does it receive?
It is tuned for 150 MHz VHF high-band, 450 MHz UHF and 800 MHz public-safety and business bands.
Is it good for transmitting?
It is a scanner receive antenna. Its 200 W rating is generous, but it is not intended as a transmit antenna for most radios.
How does it compare with a band-specific antenna?
A single-band antenna usually performs better on its own band. This one trades some peak performance for coverage of all three bands.
How long is the whip?
The whip is 16 inches, which keeps it fairly low-profile on a vehicle.
Where is the Laird ABSCANC 150/450/800 Scanner Antenna cheapest?
At Kynix Semiconductor, for $33.40, 28% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Laird ABSCANC 150/450/800 Scanner Antenna?
9 stores we checked sell it, including Kynix Semiconductor, Utmel Electronics, RadioParts, Richard Electronics, DigiKey.
