Nice antenna but the cord was too short to route from my console area to the roof of my small Ford Ranger. Had to spend an extra $40 for a custom extension cord with the proper fittings. Scannermaster just gets ya coming and going...

Great Antenna

After using my hand held scanner in the car, I decided to get this with the trunk lip mount. It makes a world of difference in reception on all bands. Doesn't have to taken off in the car wash. A nice looking low profile antenna.

I have not had the antenna too long, but just finished a long trip and was pleased with the performance of the antenna thus far. I did have the Larson scanner antenna up on the roof before trying the Comtelco. And both performed well. I am always looking for something better lol. That also fits into My garage. I might write a update reveiw after having the Comtelco a bit longer.

15 Years of Great Performance

Had one since 2000. Worked well for me. Fire and police agencies here in OR and WA are using 150s MHz conventional and/or 800s MHz trunk systems. Antenna performs well with both of those bands. The difference in reception between this antenna and the scanner's factory rubber antenna are very noticeable. Its finish is black. After 15 years, it is faded but still intact. You have to drill a hole in your roof. Mine has not leaked the entire time and I have not replaced the rubber washer between the roof and the antenna's base. My wife misjudged the height of the garage and the antenna was bent. It did not damage the roof of my pickup. Bent the antenna back straight with my hand and it's fine. The whip part of the antenna Is easily unscrewed from the base. There is an O-ring under there that I've replaced a couple of times in the last 15 years. I bought a chrome version for my other pickup in 2007. Also holding up well and does not leak. My Jetta may get one soon.
Cord Too Short
