I use an old cell. phone (the type with the squiggly coil in the middle) mag. mount for my antenna. I have it up in the attic and run the coax down to the basement. I attached a BNC to it and it works great.
I was amazed at the reception of it and the many call I had been missing. Our local FD is on VHF and missed about 85% of the calls from the FD portable units and trucks and now I receive 99% of them.
BTW on my Truck Tracker it works equally well.
