Several years ago Radio Shack sold a window clip antenna mount. This device would sit on a window and you would roll up the window to keep it in place. On the outside, you would attach the "rubber duck" antenna from your scanner and on the part inside the window there was a cable that would attach to the antenna mount on your scanner.
I have seen one or two of these recently on ebay. Apparently RS no longer sells them. Has anyone in the group used one of these and if so how effective were they? I am looking for something relatively inexpensive that I can use on my pickup to increase listening range while I am out and about.
Many thanks,
Wayne
I've used one in rental cars for years, and also hanging over the curtain rod in hotel rooms. Works fine for me. Not as good as a decent mag mount in the center of the roof or hotel a/c unit, but a decent solution for carry-on luggage travelling. It primarily depends on the duck antenna you use. The stock one with my PSR works great, but an aftermarket multiband duck should work wonders.
