scanner antennas

I am thinking of getting the D130NJ Diamond Super Discone antenna for my Uniden BCD996P2 scanner. My father already has a roof-mounted ham antenna up that he regularly transmits 100 watts out of. The question that I have is, how far should the discone antenna be mounted from my father's ham...

Anyone know where I can get the old rs 20-014 scanner antenna ?

This is my first post, so please be polite! I want to put an antenna on my car and I want to ride through storms while listening to storm spotters and public safety, how can I protect myself from lightning strikes? I know a not so similar topic has been posted before about home antennas, but I...

Have been doing a lot of reading on the Antenna Forum and have concluded that getting a Larsen NMO150/450/800 fixed mount antenna makes sense for the type of monitoring I am doing. My only concern is VHF-Lo band for Maryland State Police. Any suggestions on a low band mobile antenna to mount...

Here is a quick comparison video between the Uniden rubber duck v. Diamond SRH320A v. RS800 on the Denver Police EDACS 800mhz system. I'm using the Uniden BCD436HP for this comparison test. <object width="640" height="360"><param name="movie"...

Hello everyone! Does anyone know if it is safe to connect 2 base scanner antennas to one radio? Also, is it safe to connect 2 scanners to 1 antenna? Thank you
