Today was a nice day out, so I decided to install the VHF scanner feed antenna on the Merrill Tower (#2). The antenna was a Radio Shack 2Meter 5/8wave mobile magnet mount. I removed the whip from the magnet assembly. I used a small “L” bracket for the mount. It is hose clamped to an existing pole that was unused on the tower. For now it just uses 50′ of RG-58 coax running down. I think the coax might be too short. I might need to extend it 10-15feet to reach where I want it inside the building, but maybe I can re-route it better. I need to look into that when I run the coax into the building.

This will provide live feeds for
Midland CO PD + FD
Bay Co PD + FD
Possibly Gladwin Co PD +FD
