I have a Uniden 780 and Uniden 250 with digital card.

I use to try and listen to everything at once.. but it was impossible for me. So I just have one listenin to the police/fire/ tac&special in the area I"m in and pending on where I am.. the portable is OPP ( majority of the time ) or tac/K9/ERU etc..

But some areas are just dead so I just listen to all or put it in search ( like Oakville Which BTW Halton is on EDACS)

The mag mount was best for RF.. but was scuffin up the paint on the trunk over time, then went to Di-pole.. worse then mag mount.. but wasn't too bad.. then went with undercover whip, but did worse. Now runnin thru car antenna.. does ok

Will have to custom make another Di-pole antenna whenever I get the chance and material
