Scanner Setup

Connecting the Antenna

Attach the supplied antenna to the scanner by aligning the arrow on its base with the tab on the scanner’s BNC connector and then pressing into place.

When using an external antenna, always connect with 50-ohm, RG-58, or RG-8 coaxial cable. If the antenna

is over 50 feet from the scanner, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. If your antenna’s cable does not have a BNC connector, your local RadioShack store carries a variety of BNC adapters.
