Subject: [cameljoespolicescanners] How to put up a scanner antenna for under
$200 bucks


I'm sure you can do this for less money, But here's what I did.
First I'm disabled so I needed someone to dig a hole for me so I had
my nephew do it. I gave him $50.00 to dig it the size of a 5 gallon
bucket.
Next I bought {2} 5 gal buckets and cement and some PCV Pipe just a
little bigger round than the Flag Pole. I cut the PCV pipe so it was
flush to the top of the bucket, poured the cement around the PCV pipe.
once it hardens, put your bucket in the hole. take your pole and put
your antenna on it run your coax down the pole ,I used zip ties to
snug the coax to the pole. attached the flad and put the pole in the
PCV pipe and presto you have a flag pole /police scanner antenna!

I couldn't be happier with how this worked for me and it looks nice so
the neighbors wont complain! hope this helps someone else out!
