i have a few questions regarding antenna placement. this is involving a 45 watt uhf radio and a scanner. i paln on mounting the uhf 5/8 wave centered on teh roof in on a nmo mount. for the scanner i wanted to put it on a trunk lip mount. this is on a 4 door car. do you think these will have interference? i dont have an exact distance but my guess would be 4-5 ft. thanks

You can't get much farther away than that on a car. You should be fine other than maybe some desense on UHF.

Yup, like Dave said. Also mounting on these two different surfaces gives you vertical seperation which provides more isolation than horizontal so that's pretty much the ideal setup for 2 antenna's on a sedan. But , scanners are more open to interference sources mainly due to being so wide banded.
