- Will it work with my handheld scanner?
- It has a BNC male connector and a UHF male-to-BNC female adapter, so it fits most handheld and desktop scanners with either input. Check your radio's connector before buying.
- Does it receive trunked and digital police systems?
- It is a passive receive antenna, so it can pick up the frequencies your scanner tunes. Whether you hear a system depends on your scanner's digital and trunking support and how close the towers are.
- Can I use it in a car?
- Yes, the magnetic base lets you set it on a metal roof or hood. The 3 cm magnet is small, so it may shift at speed or on curved panels, and the thin cable should be routed away from sharp edges.
- Is it good for transmitting on 2m or 70cm ham radio?
- It is sold as a scanner and receive antenna. Do not transmit through it unless the maker rates it for your radio's power, or you risk damaging the antenna or the radio.
- How is it better than the stock antenna on my scanner?
- The longer 12.6-inch whip and the option to place the magnet higher or near a window can improve reception over a short stock antenna. On weak or distant signals, a band-specific outdoor antenna will still do better.
- What is in the box?
- The antenna with magnetic base, 3 m of RG174 cable, a BNC male and UHF male connection, and a UHF male-to-BNC female adapter.
