I am an over the road truck driver who is also a railfan. I use a Radio Shack Pro-91 with a 2' external antenna mounted on my truck. I also use a car adapter (12V) so i don't use internal batteries when driving. Terrain has a lot to do with range, but out in the west I can usually hear crews talk at 5-10 miles, detectors at about 15 miles. M-o-W crews usually talk on PBX so you can hear them 25-30 miles away. In the east, the distances are about half that. I notice the crew responses to detectors can only be heard if i am only a couple miles away. Any external antenna will definitely increase you range and a dedicated scanner antenna works best.
