Gee, I wonder if that's a mag mount for fiberglass? Marine antenna... OK, I added no value to your question, but... I thought it was kind of funny...
Later...

Take a look at Universal Radio's website. They have a good selection of mobile antennas there.

A mobile antenna will need a radial kit or other ground plane surface substituting for the vehicle body in order to operate as a base antenna. RR people have used everything from baking pans to copper spiders on LSD, I prefer to make a mounting bracket and attach radials. Read the threads, you'll find everything from logic to insanity.

I have checked out those sites, but would feel better if some one who owns a bc350c scanner themsleves could tell me a good vhf(mostly) and some uhf antenna to put on the back of it....just something to pull in the vhf stuff a bit better...anyone do this themselves, upgrade the antenna for that model?

What does the brand of scanner have to do with it? We're talking antennas here.
