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 a Pl259 plug I think. I know other radio equipment has that plug. Can I use it on my fm scanner and what not. I know CB is ofcourse am freqency but would be great if I could use it for fm or sw.


Thanks,


Josh
