Living in an apartment I cannot mount an antenna on the roof. What I have been using is a wire that I bought from Radio Shack which mounts on the outside of the window using suction cups. Since I live in a metro area, this has been adequate for me to hear all the locals.
I just bought an MM26ANT from Scanner World, which is an all-band mobile magnetic mount antenna. I attached a wide metal bracket to the outside window frame(wood), on which I placed the mag mount.
As it turns out, the older wire antenna works better than the mag mount. I'm not sure
at this point if the antenna is badly designed or maybe because the antenna is not mounted on a car body. Any insights would be helpful.
