currenty vehicle of all things is a grand prix Current vehicle is a 99 4 door grand prix. I got that after my little 4 door suzuki sidekick finally wore out at about 260,000 miles. I was wishing for 300,000 but for a small 4 banger. Not that bad. Then the other vehicle my dad drives but I own...

Does anybody do this? When I get around to picking up a Base Station antenna I would like to use my fm scanner on it as well. Not at the same time ofcourse. I would get a switch box or just switch between the two via the cable. I know getting a FM antenna seperate for the FM scanner would be...

Base Station Antenna So I have been checking out base station antennas. most of them seem to come in three sections and have metal pols down the side aka like 3 of them. Some do not. So my question is. What if I just get the antenna without the sides. What is the difference. Also it uses...
