Years ago as a Police Officer I listened to scanners quite a bit in order to stay on top of things happening in my community. I recently purchased a PSR-500 and after about 3 weeks of programming it I think I have settled on a schema. Reading the forums here provided me with a ton of good ideas and direction, Thanks.
Getting to my question, I'm installing a Comtelco antenna on my car. Here is a link to the exact antenna Comtelco All-Band Low-Profile Scanner Antenna.
If I bend the mast like this one http://misection.org/bent.jpg am I doing anything really detrimental? I'm thinking about using the edge mount (trunk lip mount) base.
I know putting it on top of the car straight up would be best, but my lovely and usually tolerant wife doesn't think it would be best.
