    well i dont know if anyone is going to have any personal experience with that exact scanner but you could run some thin sheet metal up under the radio and possibly to one of the radio bolts as far as on the scanner side, i would have to be able to see the back of it

    I was thinking about using the 3M velcro stuff, but it wouldn't be facing me.

    Just be sure it's legal to have it in your vehicle where you are. Many places will give you a ticket if you're caught with it on. They are illegal on any military base.

    Dang, I forgot about that. I can check our laws. If it is, I'll just have it with me and have it off unless I see an ambulance or something.

    Not sure where your location is but if you travel through Virginia or West Virginia and a cop pulls you over and catches you with that they will fine you and confiscate it.

    Im not sure if they will if its off and hidden though. I do know a friend of mine had a radar detector off and laying under the passenger side seat and the cop caught a glimpse of it when he walked up the side of the car and asked him to show it to him. He gave him a fine and confiscated the detector.

    Idt a scanner / detector apply under the same classifications but they might if youre tuning into police dispatch and stuff.

    VA and WV are a-holes for lack of a better word. I have a flowmaster on my truck and modifications to vehicles registered in VA or WV are illegal i.e. exhausts and stuff. They can actually pull you over for them but is youre not a VA or WV registered car they cant really do anything but check it.

    Radar detectors are illegal since it's for detecting cops. Obviously. Haha. Scanners are just to listen to the emergency response units, but I will still check.

    I've been wanting one because my friend who is a volunteer fire fighter convinced me to get one. It helps me know what's going in town and I know who is involved with the emergencies. And some people in my family have scanners in their homes.

    Sorry I still don't get it. The only people I can see with one of those are the busy-body type, those with a Hero complex, or the Dale Dribble's of the world getting ready for the black UN helicopters.

    The only reason i was grouping the scanner and detector together was because you could use the scanner to listen for checkpoints and such along with what you were talking about using it for
