Default Antenna For Police Scanner?

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas where I could get an antenna that would work with a police scanner that would still look good on a 2000 beetle?

You can probably just split from the FM antenna, it should be able to get most frequencies.

Not in my NBC, but in another vehicle, I have had a Uniden Bearcat scanner using a splitter on the AM/FM antenna with absolutely no problems. Hidden install, no one (not even Smokey!) knows I have it...

I'll give that a try. I guess since I would only be transmitting with my portable the length of the antenna is not as critical.
