I've been looking for a certain type of antenna to mount on top of my truck for a while now. I would like to have something with a shock spring, which all of the firetrucks and police cars have.

Comtelco Quarter Wave Mobile Two-Way Radio Antennas Information Page

The A1511A is exactly what I mean. I'm wondering if there are any other alternative brands that I can use? I know Antennex makes them, but I've been looking for the one that has a very small load coil at the base, just like the one in the link.

I'm wondering if I can use that antenna hooked up to a scanner? I know that anything metallic could be used as an antenna. I'm not scanning for anything other than my towns fire and police dispatch. 46.1800 and 156.1950.

Springs - Shock spring for B&C coil
Could I just buy the spring separately and attach it to any load coil?
