I didn't really know where to post this. But, I have a RS PRO-135. I have a BNC-Coax cable. I couldn't find one with a 90 on it, so the cable is straight up. Any ideas on what to get to hold this scanner at an angle, so I can see the screen? It just falls over now.

I made one before from a CD jewel case. Open it up and fold it backwards until it is at about a 45 degree angle. Hold the bottom together with some packing tape. Use a file or something to open a slot in the gap at the top and hang the scanner from the belt clip. If you put a bit of hot glue on the edges it will make a decent no-slip surface.

I bought a bunch of Plate holders on eBay that work Great.
You might want to look into that.
I see others use them as well from looking at Shack photos.

At my office, I found an unused copy holder and hook my handhelds on that.
I was in Wal-Mart and found black metal book ends. I can place two hand helds next to each other and the stand does not tip over.

Most Radio Shacks carry the 90 degree bnc in stock Part #278-116. It will help to alleviate the stress the coax is placing on the bnc connector coming out of the scanner.Also for those that change antenna alot you might want to consider a bnc to bnc adapter, to help save the one on the scanner from wear and tear.
That's what I use when I take the handhelds off the strip I keep them hanging on. Economical and efficient.

Perfect! Thanks for suggesting that. I needed to pick up a few more for the bookshelf anyways. It works great with both radios even with power and PC cords plugged in.
