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.
