Antenna
Your scanner's antenna connects easily, or you can
use a variety of antennas, such as an external mobile
antenna or outdoor base station antenna.
To connect an external antenna, follow the
installation instructions supplied with the antenna.
Always use 50-ohm coaxial cable, such as RG-58 or
RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. You may also
need a BNC adapter.
To connect the included antenna:
1. Align the slots around the antenna’s connector
with the tabs on the antenna jack.
2. Press the antenna down over the jack and turn the
antenna’s base clockwise until it locks into place.
