Portable Mini Magnet Mount Scanner Antenna with SMA Connector for Car, Truck & Emergency Radio - Ideal for Police, Fire, EMS & Weather Monitoring

UPDATE - From four stars to five. Last week I did some re-arranging and WOW! Signals are sooo much better. VHF, 800mhz, digital, analog, all come in equally well. This picks up the 800mhz digital stuff MUCH better than the one on ebay that is designed for that purpose. Not only that, it picks up the old 7xxmhz off the nearest repeater (10-15 miles as the crow flies?).Unfortunately my Ram Mount lost hold last night, and the antenna cord pulled up of the connector. I will be ordering another one of these and attempting to repair it in the meantime. I just don't look forward to trying to repair it while the cable hangs from my dash - or snaking the cable through my headliner again.ORIGINAL REVIEW- I am using this with my Uniden Homepatrol 1. The build quality seems fair enough - no problems for me. Magnet is not as strong as other reviews led me to believe, but it is strong enough. The magnet also has a thin non-scratch protective piece attached (adhesive?) to it. I don't want to drill any holes in my roof. I ran the cable through my third brake light housing at the back of the cab, above the headliner, and to the home patrol mounted by my rear view mirror. I cannot tell yet, but this antenna doesn't seem to have any better reception than the $14 "t-shaped" interior glass mount one it replaced. Time will tell and I will update my review accordingly. One nice plus is it is on my roof instead of mounted by my dashlight taking up precious windshield viewing room.
