step 3: connect your scanner

connect the supplied antenna

Push the antenna onto your scanner’s antenna connector and rotate until it locks into place.

Your scanner’s sensitivity to various frequencies depends on

its location and the antenna’s

length. For best reception, adjust the antenna’s length as follows:

Frequency

Antenna Length

25-54 MHz

Extend fully

108-174 MHz

Extend 4 segments

216-225 MHz

Extend 3 segments

406-1300 MHz

Collapse fully

connect an external antenna

You will need to connect an external antenna when you mount your scanner in the dashboard of your vehicle. You may also want to connect an external antenna if you use your scanner as a base station.

Your local RadioShack store sells a variety of antennas. Always use 50-ohm coaxial

cable, such as RG-58 or RG-8, to connect an outdoor antenna. For

lengths exceeding 50 feet, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial

cable. If your coaxial cable does not have a BNC connector, you will also need a BNC adapter (not supplied).
