If you want to monitor everything (police, fire, EMS, local businesses, etc.) then you should choose ‘wide band’ antenna. Like all things police scanner related, you need to determine what you want to listen to and what bands those frequencies broadcast on. Scanner signals work on line-of-sight, not satellites, so anything from a tree to a hill can inhibit signal.The higher you put your antenna (pitch of roof or top of vehicle) the better the reception.Typically, the bigger the antenna, the better the reception.We offer a wide range of scanner antenna manufacturers, all of which come with warranties of one year to a lifetime.You’ll want to make sure your antenna has the correct connector type or buy an adapter. Most police scanners have either a SMA female or BNC female connector type. You can simply change the settings on your scanner to fix this. This happens sometimes in metro areas if you’re too close to a tower. Before buying an antenna you will want to make sure you are not getting too strong of a signal causing ‘signal overload’ or ‘ attenuation’.
