- What radios and bands does it work with?
- It is a receive-and-transmit discone covering about 25–1300 MHz, so it suits scanners, CB, HF/VHF/UHF ham, airband, FRS/GMRS and 1090 MHz ADS-B. It is vertically polarized and rated to 200 W.
- What connectors does it use?
- The antenna has a UHF female (SO-239) socket, and the included 10 m cable is PL-259 male to PL-259 female. Radios with an SMA jack need a PL-259 to SMA adapter.
- How high should I mount it?
- Higher is better for range; a rooftop or mast mount clear of obstructions works best. The 1.7 m, 1.35 kg antenna needs a sturdy mast and the supplied hardware.
- Is it good for transmitting or mainly scanning?
- It handles up to 200 W and SWR under 1.5:1, so light transmitting on CB, FRS/GMRS and ham bands is fine. Its 3.5 dBi gain means a band-specific antenna will beat it on a single band.
- What is in the box?
- The discone antenna, mounting hardware and a 10 m PL-259 coax cable. Check that the cable length reaches from your mast to the radio.
