I'm thinking about one with separate whips

Anyone got any good ideas?

I assume, possibly incorrectly, that it is a VHF/UHF scanner. It would
be much simpler to build a discone -- even just a skeleton discone would
probably do the trick.

You could do worse than a 1/4 wave groundplane for approx 160 MHz. It will
be 3/4 wave on 480 MHz as well and thus reasonably efficient.
