Diamond RH77CA is very good for wide range scanning and dual band xmit.
About 14.75 inches.

I'd like to know if there is a general purpose whip antenna available to
cover scanner frequencies up to 1300mhz that will also provide adequate
servive for 144/440 ham transmission? I realize that I will not be
getting
an antenna that is perfectly matched for all frequencies. I will be using
a
license plate mount and I'd like as thin an antenna as possible to
minimize
wind loading.

Also, I'd be looking for the same in a rubber duck style, 12 inches tops.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
