Hey, any mag mount will do, really. A VHF quarter wave mag mount will do. There are plenty of them out there. I suggest looking in the antenna wiki before you go out and blow a bundle on something that won't work for your optimal listening pleasure. I for one suggest the Larsen NMO-150/450/800 on a mag mount or other type of mount, on the roof of your car as the best location. The Larsen and any number of others will do the job for you. You can plug it into your scanner and have fun.
