hey guys, i have had my scanner for a few months, its a radio shack PRO 2054. my antenna is a radio shack mag mount u can see it here http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2102469
i am very happy with the reception and the anteanna, except my problem is that the magnet is way too weak. falls over if u hit a bump to hard. any tree brach, even the leaves knock it over lol. anyway i would like to get a new one... not sure what a good one is, i found a Hustler magnet i would like to get. it has a 95lb pull stregth. its a 3/8 x 24 thread, anyone reccomend me some good options? most anteannas i have seen say they cover different frequncies, the one is goes something to 450 and my local cops are on 460.xxx so it wouldnt pick it up right? any help is appreciated, i dont know much about antennas, thanks alot!
