If you listen to am radio it will suffer,if fm is your lot they are not too bad.
I have built these for others including my self and they perform o.k.
On my sons car he has a 9db uhfcb antenna that has a threeway splitter to split the signal between three scanners for a similar result. Don't be tempted to transmit however.
Cheers,

p.s if you go to Jaycar or DSE etc you can get the splitter,f type connector and other connectors and do yourself very cheaply

Re: car antenna
I use something similar for listening to the Firies. Beacuse the car radio antenna is designed for 88-108Mhz, listening to the firies at 79Mhz means both scanner and car radio work rather well.
For UHF I'd get a seperate antenna for the scanner.
