MS>     Reception range depends on two things: where you are, and your 
antenna.
MS>     If you are in flat country or on a hilltop, you'll get a lot more 
range
MS> than if you're in hills-and-valley country.  That's particularly true if 
MS> you just use the telescoping antenna or duck that comes with the scanner.
MS>     If you are in marginal terrain, a rooftop antenna can do wonders for 
a 
MS> home scanner.  A mag-mount antenna makes for much better mobile reception 
MS> of distant signals than just using your handheld scanner on the car seat 
MS> with its duck.
now all i gotta do is get a scanner=)
