What CB antenna will fit in this hole?

Can I screw a short CB antenna into the hole in my car that was used for the music radio antenna?

I dont listen to the radio in my car. I have my Ipod connected .into the radio’s Aux jack; and I listen to that instead.

But I have a CB set and I would like to install it in my car, but I don’t want to drill any holes fora CB antenna.

Does anybody make some short CB antenna that I could screw into the standard antenna mount that is already on the vehicle? Something around one to two feet long would be great.

Low-Profile Scanner Antenna

Can I use my truck’s radio antenna to feed my police band radio scanner as well?

I want to install a police radio scanner into my truck, so I can hear what’s happening around me while I am driving.

What I want to know is… Can use my existing AM/FM broadcast radio antenna – the one I listen to music stations on – as the scanner antenna on my truck?

What if I go and buy a Y-adapter and connect one cable into the radio and have the other one plug into the scanner? If so, would I be able to use both the vhf/uhf scanner and the AM/FM music radio at the same time?

I want to keep the police scanner and its antenna as low-profile as I can. Any and all suggestions will be gladly considered.
