Where did you get the antenna for the scanner? I'm thinking doing a similar setup.

 

Ham radio shop most likely.

 

Could be, but I want to know the exact one since I noticed his was mounted in the trunk. I couldn;t find one at Radioshack

 

I got it at a Radio Shack. Here is a link to the product on the Radio Shack website:

hope that helps, e-mail if you have any other questions (onyx@asu.edu)

Thnaks!

 

Thanks!! How did you secure it to the floorboard of the trunk btw?

With a piece of cylindrical wood and a double sided wood/bolt type screw. Hard to explain really. I can take some pics for you tommarrow.

 

wut kind of scanner is this? and wut features?

 

Cool! any pics would be really helpful. Thanks!

 

I'd go with a small cell phone look a like antenna. Workman (KS-3) and MFJ (MFJ-1728?) make them. It is only about 12" long with a small loading coil and will work better than something inside a trunk. Just make sure it covers the band you want to listen to(which for a scanner just a wide band antenna) For scanners and info try here: www.radioworld.ca
