Do you need an external antenna to use this scanner? If so what type and where do you get one?

Sorry, I bought a completely different scanner (a desktop model) and it came with its own built in antenna. I am not sure about the mobile units.

An antenna comes with the unit and that's all I've used and it works great!

no it has its own I pick up all my EMERGENCY CHANNELS IN MY TOWN works excellent

It comes with an antenna that connects to the back of it. Upgrading to an outside antenna is best but all depends on what you want to listen to.

The radio will scan, however it is not capable of receiving any agencies using Digital APCO transmissions, Trunked radio systems or LTR, so you may need a "real" scanner for area if the agencies you wish to monitor aren't on a standard analog conventional channel.

It will work but you will need the coax adapter for your scanner. Antenna is great by the way.

I bought the base unit. Didn't use a scanner. Not sure what frequency it uses. Might call the manufacture.

Yes you can connect an external antenna to this receiver. As I have never needed an external antenna, I can't comment on choice of type or make.

Thanks for the answer. I do not have external antenna on my router. I was looking for an antenna for the camera itself. I did move the router around a tad better reception. Again thank you.

Do you have the connections for an external antenna? If you do, this type of antenna should help.

Any SD or SDHC... You can also use a micro sd or mmc card, but you will need an SD interface adapter to use with the scanner as it will only accept SD cards. I only use Lexar media cards and have never had a problem using them with the scanner.

This is a great scanner. A lot depends on the terrain between you and the fire station. I would suggest a good outside antenna installed correctly. Then I would say yes to your question.

Yes Christopher. This is exactly what we did. The Bearcat BC345CRS reception was significantly better! I connected it to the RG-6 cable and with an adapter connected it directly to the scanner via my wall plate cable connection being we don't have cable TV and use jacks anyway. Enjoy your scanner's better reception.

Yes. On the back, on the left-hand side, you can hook-up an external antenna. In fact, one comes included. I wanted one that would give me better reception, so I bought one at Radio Shack for about $13.

no, there is no port for external antenna. One issue that you need to consider is the short battery life. I usually carry a portable battery supply (for cellphone).

This scanner has a single USB 2.0 plug to a Micro USB plug cable. Although there is usually more than one USB port available to use on your PC, there is only one Micro USB plug output on the scanner. I am sure that there is either a splitter cable, or a USB Hub that can take the signal from the scanner and send it to two different USB 2.0 ports on two separate PC's. Research Splitter cables and/or hubs to see if this is possible. Hope this helps!

You can contact the Uniden manufacturer at https://www.uniden.com/page/contactus Be prepared to wait on hold. We actually, did not get an instruction sheet with ours it was on a cd (that could have been printed out, but many pages). We had to have a person who know more about radios set our scanner up for us. Question: Were you able to set your own up? I wish we had gotten a "quick start" type manual of some sort.Thanks

Yes , it needs a marine band antenna if you plan to transmit with it but if just plan to receive, you can use just about any good scanner antenna with a 259 connector.

The antenna is not weatherproof and really is not very useful. Plan on replacing the antenna with something that will suit your usage. The antenna supplied is resonant around 1000 mHz and is not effective for amateur or most scanner use except for only the strongest signals.

I plug my scanner into my laptop with the 'mini' USB cord supplied with the unit. My laptop has shore power, so mine is 'travel-ready'. YMMV
