the jack and turn the

Connecting an Outdoor
Antenna
Instead of a supplied antenna, you
can connect an outdoor base-
station or mobile antenna (not
supplied) to your scanner using a
BNC connector. Your local
RadioShack store sells a variety of
antennas. Choose the one that
best meets your needs.
When deciding on a mobile or
base-station antenna and its
location, consider these points:
• The antenna should be as
high as possible on the
vehicle or building.
• The antenna and its cable
should be as far as possible
from sources of electrical
noise, such as appliances or
other radios.
