Connect the supplied rod
antenna by pushing the antenna’s connector onto
the antenna jack on the back of the scanner and twisting it to the desired angle. Connect the two wires from the loop antenna to the AM RADIO ANT terminals on the back of the scanner.
* Carefully remove the tube inserted before using the AM Antenna Jack. When the Jack is not in use, keep the tube mounted.
You can also use an external antenna (not supplied) to help to bring in weaker signals. Use RG58,
