- What radios does the N connector fit?
- It fits radios and coax with an N male connector. Most scanner and ham radios use PL-259/SO-239, so you need an N-to-PL-259 adapter or N-terminated coax.
- Does it need tuning?
- No. A discone is broadband and covers the whole 100–2000 MHz range without adjustment.
- Can I transmit with it?
- It is mainly a receive antenna. Transmit is possible at low power on covered bands, but it is not rated for high-power operation.
- How high should it be mounted?
- Higher is better for range. Mount it clear of metal and obstructions, with a proper ground plane and quality coax.
- Is it good for airband and scanner listening?
- Yes. It covers the VHF airband and most UHF scanner bands, which is why listeners choose it over a single-band whip.
- What is in the box?
- The antenna elements, mounting hardware and N connector. Coax and a mast are not included.
