Interesting possibility! The 2042 scanner is my third so far and it has  done 
most every thing I have wanted of it. Now I need a top quality outside 
antenna 
to top it off and I should be set. All have on it now is a Radio Shack all 
band ground plane. It does seem to have its problem areas, and I'm no expert 
on traking down problems of that type. I would like to find a resource for 
purchasing a good all band antenna. I have several diagrams of do it yourself
job's but again I'm  " buy it " yourselfer not a " do it " yourselfer.
