Absolutely,, mine works quite well, picks up the HD channels in my area,,, clear as a bell!

It has a standard antenna plug in jack on the back so you should be able to use any antenna.

Yes. I've had two of these stereos installed in two different vehicles and used the original antenna in those vehicles. The first install was in a 1989 Jeep Wrangler YJ and the second is in my 1997 Dodge Ram 1500. Before I had them installed, I checked into the necessity of a special antenna and found that you can use the stock factory equipment. I hope this information helps. The stereo works great for my needs and I did not have to spend hundreds of dollars unnecessarily.

Yes you can. It includes provisions for both an AM and FM antenna. I didn't have much luck with the included AM because of local interference.RR

No it uses a different connector. It's not possible to use the antenna that way.

Yes and you can use any antenna you want that is equipped with the standard connector. The included antennas are good enough to put out/receive a powerful signal so there shouldn't be a need to replace them.

It is necessary that the two antennas be isolated from each other - in a car, the steel of the roof does this so you would need to place some kind of steel barrier between the two antennas. Further, it is best that the external antenna be outside. My suspicion is that it will not work well even if you do all this.

It can, but it uses the metal of your car to allow the 2 antennas to work correctly. How well it works comes down to how you set it up. Read up on the topic and follow the advice. I can say from experience that Wilson stuff works well when installed or set up correctly.

The one that comes with the unit would be ok for the car. The cb is good for up to 4 miles depending on the atmosphere for the day and the terrain that you're in. You will need to crack your window or run the cable between the door and exterior of the car. Another option for more info is to call a local cb shop and see if they would recommend another/different antenna.

Not 100% sure because I only have one, but there are 3 channel options on the car that you match to the remote, so I think you could.

If you have the right equipment for the antenna to go into, then I don't see why not. However I didn't see a spot to directly plug one in if that was your question.

Only if the your car has a special antenna where an adapter is needed if you were to change out the factory stereo.

Yes! The wifi is setup as " local link" only, so is ONLY used for airplay. Your 3G connection is still used for Internet, so for example you can stream Pandora (via 3G) on your phone while sending it to airplay (via Wifi) while in your car. It's wonderful!

If the antenna is being used at your home QTH, then a pl259 connector and RG8 cable will do. You will need to create a mounting platform with a ground plane of some type since you will not be using the car as a ground plane.

Yes I can. Works very well. Mind you this is not a powerful unit. But, it is perfect for working out and for the car .

yes it can be used in a car with an adapter, but you have to park your car to watch tv, because if the tv shakes it looses signal.

The antenna wire is solely for use on motorized antennas. (I.e when you start your car and the antenna goes up and it goes down when turned off) if you don't have a motorized antenna do nothing with that wire. It won't strengthen your signal.

Yes, it can. Our amateur radio club uses somebody's FT-8800 in this mode often for Field Day and other scattered projects. I've used the 1/2-wave antenna on my car; I've used a 35-foot mast-mounted antenna. It will do pretty much everything legal to an amateur radio operator who's licensed to use 2m and 70 cm. (That's is pretty much every amateur radio licensee these days.)

Doesn't matter where the radio is. The antenna must have access to the sky. I have mine sitting on the console with the antenna on the dash in a holder. Works pretty well most of the time.
