[Matt Ettus]

The Vert400 antenna will work well over several separate bands:

118-160MHz, 250-290MHz,
360-390MHz, 420-470MHz, 820-960MHz, 1260-1300MHz

It will radiate but will not be optimal in areas outside of that.  For 
this wide a bandwidth you could also look into a discone antenna.  Radio 
shack and some other companies carry them.
