Welcome to the group... You speak of a scanner...if you are interested in a particular range of frequencies, a beam antenna (typically in the form of a "yagi") along with a preamplifier will probably help "a lot."
A "scanner" usually has a pretty wide front end, so you may find the preamp will bring in more "garbage" than it is worth. An individual band radio, programmable if you need access to multiple frequencies, should be your next goal. Of course i would be lax in not mentioning more height for your antenna and decent coax between it and your radio and the proper fittings correctly attached. Enjoy!
