I need 2 good low profile multo-band antennas for the roff of my Lincold Blackwood. I will be using these with a 396xt and a 996 xt. All ideas appreciated.

The Op wants a Mobile antenna.
What's 'ya listening to?
And what kind of gain are you interested in? The more "low profile" you want to be cuts into the amount of gain you are going to get.
You won't need much gain if you're talking about UHF or 800 repeater/trunking systems that you are in the midst of.
You are going to need a lot of gain if you're talking VHF low or high, or comms that you are many miles from.
(Nice car, btw)
What bands do you want to monitor in your Blackwood?

Your not going to find many Low Profile scanner antennas, better off getting a low profile antenna for a certain band.

The lowest you might get is 16 to 17 inchs tall. Those are for the larsen triband, and maxrad.
