What kind of antenna would you guys recommend for a Uniden BC796D scanner? I'm thinking about buying one but I'm not sure what kind of antenna to get. Any suggestions? Preferably a glass mount but I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks!

Any particular band? All bands?

I've had good success with the Larsen NMO150/450/800 for everything but low band.

Maxrad makes a pretty good one too.

I'm looking for an antenna that can handle all bands. I'll check out Larsen though. Thanks.

I have an Antenex. I monitor everything from Low Band up to 800 Trunk. It works well in VHF I was about 60 miles away from a station and heard it clear. And did not pick it up on my Spectra.
