CONNECTING THE ANTENNA
To attach the supplied flexible antenna to the connector
on the top of your scanner, align the slots around the
antenna’s connector with the tabs on the scanner’s
BNC connector. Then slide the antenna’s connector
down over the scanner’s connector and rotate the an-
tenna connector’s outer ring clockwise until it locks into
place.
Connecting an Optional Antenna
The scanner’s BNC connector makes it easy to connect
a variety of optional antennas, including an external
mobile antenna or outdoor base station antenna. Your
local RadioShack store sells a wide selection of anten-
nas.
Note:
Always use 50-ohm, RG-58, or RG-8, coaxial ca-
ble to connect an outdoor antenna. If the antenna is
over 50 feet from the scanner, use RG-8 low-loss di-
electric coaxial cable. If your antenna’s cable does not
have a BNC connector, your local RadioShack store
carries a variety of BNC adapters.
