Arrived in the post today. 9" Britax spotlamps and scanner antenna. Another weekend of pottering with the truck coming up!

they look good mate, make sure you get pics up as soon as they're on eh?!

A scanner antenna? is that for a cb kind of thing?

i never used to be into 'pottering' with the truck, but a fecking love it now!

I have some 2" ally tube and am thinking about making a defender stylee lamp mount.

The antenna - CB, not quite, though the radio will receive that band. The scanner I've got fitted works from 25MHz (just below CB) up to 1.3GHz (satcom type stuff) via VHF comms, UHF comms, PMR, phones, baby monitors, military comms etc etc etc.

Hi Apache,

I'd like a quality 'normal' aerial mounted on the front bumper similar to your scanner one. Is there a good specialist site you use who could supply something ?

Thanks,
Rob.

[Apache]

For FM broadcast band radio? If so, the sites I've bought stuff off do antennas for other than broadcast, and my home stuff I design and build myself.

To be honest, you're probably better off with something from a specialist car audio place, because anything for use outside of the FM broadcast band will be less than optimum.

Yes for normal FM, though I do have a dab tuner to put in eventually.

The car hifi sites only seem to stock the autoleads type stuff that halfords sell. I was hoping to find something better. There's not much info on the web about car radio aerials - believe me I spent ages searching last year.

Cheers,
Rob.
