Where to get UHF antenna
Does anyone know a good place to get a scanner BNC antenna specific for the UHF range? (Specifically the police freqs).

They do work, but not very well. Having no ground plane, they're terribly inefficient. I'd only put one on a car that was brand new and I couldn't bear to drill holes intoConstableCare wrote:Go for an "On Glass" Antenna - no holes in the car then. Can tune to any frequency by simply cutting the antenna to length.
