I just returned from Pensacola Beach and i had no problem whatsoever. I think if you got stopped for speeding, reckless driving, etc then they might question it or even do the enforcing thing but i don't believed your going to get stopped for a scanner violation only. I traveled with 3 scanners to FLA. One was mounted in the truck with an antenna on top. How does a police officer/trooper know thats a scanner antenna? There are so many antennas now that look like other things. And some are hidden. So i strongly don't believe you will get stopped strictly for a scanner violation. Don't get stopped, obey traffic laws and don't draw attention to yourselves. I will never leave my scanners at home when i visit Florida. Too much milair to miss. By the way, my 796D in the truck had strictly milair freqs and stuff for Alabama programmed in. I could put Fla public safety stuff in it but basically when i get to the hotel my truck is parked the whole week unless i have to drive to eat out. I had no problem and won't stop doing what i do when i go on vacation. And i don't have a HAM license. This debate is really fruitless. Not drawing attention to yourself, no problem. Reckless, speeding, possible problems. I forgot one thing. Myself i have one to two antennas on my truck. An antenna farm on your vehicle, that falls under the drawing attention to yourself category. That could cause a problem. The old saying KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) comes to mind.
