This is what it says verbatim in the ST2 owner's/installation manual:

"ST2
Omni-directional Outdoor Scanner Antenna
with Matching Transformer and
50’ of RG-6 Coaxial Cable, with F-to-BNC adapter"

You can also see the complete listing for the Antennacraft ST2 on the Universal Radio website (including the capability to download a detailed diagram of the ST2 in pdf format): https://www.universal-radio.com/catalog ... /2732.html

It's listed as omni-directional, but any pole mounted (what we in the broadcast industry refer to as "side mount"). Will have some directionality to it. How much is to be seen, but this model I know for a fact has a little pattern to it.
