I use an adapter cable that splits the signal from my truck's AM/FM antenna. It works quite well, although I'm sure I sacrifice some range over a specialized separate antenna, but I also don't have to worry about scratches to my truck from a magnetic mount. I also like the fact that the lack of a separate antenna is more discrete and doesn't announce the scanner's presence in my truck. I got the adapter through www.scannerworld.com for around $20.00. Their catalog is on the website, but the last time I ordered, they did not have on-line ordering. <br /> <br />The use of mobile scanners is illegal in some areas, so check local laws befor using in a vehicle. Virginia and Minnesota are two states that do not allow mobile scanners. I'm sure there are others that I'm not aware of. Ron H.
