I'm in search of a scanner antenna to mount on my Ford Explorer. I
understand that there isn't "the perfect" antenna to receive
everything; although my main scans are fire, police, and CHP (nothing
trunked).

Before I makes any holes in my truck just wanted to make sure I got a
good antenna that would stand up to years of use. Don't want anything
that will rust (have had past bad experience with that). What types of
antennas do the police or CHP use for their scanners?

btw., I currently have an Armstrong 36" mag mount which the mag base
is starting to rust the roof of my truck. Want to change before it
gets any worse.

Thanks in advance!
John
