I always use cellular antennas for trunking and they kick ass. and my huge scanners look ohhhh so cute with an ericson cell antenna.

: Thanks for your reply. No Im at home here in Des Moines, not far from the air port as a crow flys.
: Anyway, I have the metal ant... I use that the scanner came with.
