Will this fit my Uniden handheld scanner?

It fits Uniden handhelds that use the same screw-on connector and tune 800 MHz. Check your model's antenna connector before ordering.

Does it improve reception over the stock antenna?

Owners say it restores normal reception rather than improving it. Expect stock-level performance, not extra range.

It is tuned for 800 MHz, so it is a poor choice for VHF and UHF low bands. Use a multiband antenna for those.

Yes, it is the Uniden AT218, part number BATG0481001, sold as a replacement antenna.

It is about 6.9 inches long and weighs under a quarter of a pound, so it adds little bulk to a handheld.
