Hi Bill, I have the SDS100 and the BCD436 as well as the Icom ICR30, all of which are just using the stock antenna.  This brings up another point that even when I was in the Detroit area, I heard more from Canada on those bands then I did from the federal agencies.  Interestingly enough, I heard some things that were not only in the clear, but in analogue mode when I would have guessed they would be encrypted.
