they are orientated horizontal if the station is transmitting horizontal
and most mobiles are verticaly polarised and so should your antenna be for
mobiles for your scanner

I could probably find an answer if I searched, but I'll throw it out
anyway...

If a yagi should be set up for vertical polorization to capture the best
signal, why are TV yagis set up for horizontal polarization? Shouldn't it
be the same for both signals? Just wondering...
