Connecting an Optional
Antenna
Although the supplied rubber duck anten- na provides excellent local reception, you can connect an optional external mobile antenna or outdoor base station antenna to your transceiver for better reception of weak signals. The antenna jack on the top of the transceiver makes it easy to use the transceiver with a variety of an- tennas. Your local RadioShack store sells a variety of antennas.
