Which one works better at airshows the MH-209SMA or the CH-32?

I have been looking for a good alternative to the stock antenna...

Thanks,
Mark

SMA for general use.

I use a Maldol MH-209SMA and a Comet CH-32. The Comet is about 1 1/2"
long--the Maldol is about twice that length. The Comet is hard,
inflexible
plastic--the Maldol is very flexible, similar to sponge.

Mind you, they aren't designed for being an 'all around' antenna.  But,
they
are good for up close monitoring.  I use them when at airshows, or other
places where I have the scanner actually inside my pocket.  The Maldol
gives
a much better performance.
