I went with a quad band antenna from ebay. Fixed to a boot mount on mast on house. Couldn't afford a home base antenna.

I'm using a Comet GP 3 on a mast jusst taller than roofs in the neighborhood. 2 meters and 50 watts gets me 150 miles quite cleanly.

A multi-band discone vertical antenna will work well for this radio. Make sure you get one that is designed to transmit on ten, six, two, and 70cm bands.

If you need to ask that question at all, and especially if you think this is a good place to get that information, please fold your license neatly and put it back in the box of Cracker Jacks that it came in.

Quad-band transmitting BASE antennas are hard to come by. Just use a MOBILE 10/6/2/.7 quad-band instead, like the HHT HH-9000 quad-band mobile antenna at around $42, plus a ground-plane radial kit (since you don't have the car body acting as such). Don't forget to get yourself an antenna tuner (like the MFJ-945E) so you don't burn out your radio from a severe mis-match. And remember A-L-L grounds must always go to a single point termination at the grounding rod! ...no short-cuts!Use high quality low loss coax such as LMR-400 and weatherproof your exterior connections like they will be submerged in 33' of water.KK4VRE/ WQST332/ KRED333/ KNJ2MB Quad-band transmitting BASE antennas are hard to come by.

Verify the antenna connections, it may need adapters, otherwise it's universal. The iSimple website can help.

YesANY antenna is far, far better than no antenna at all. And this antenna is a cheapie but it woks well if you experiment with where you place it. Read my above review for more information. Go online and research reviews of FM antennas to find one better than this...the NPR FM antenna advice is best, search on that.Good luck to you. Happy listening.

How would you connect this antenna, is there a place on the radio for a second antenna (e.g. 75 ohm or two screws?) 75 ohm would require a converter. This is an inexpensive antenna, and not very good. I don't believe it will make the reception better, as you already have an antenna. If your radio has a place to attach a second antenna, look for a better antenna.

I believe the preamp will work on most any kind of antenna. Put it close to the antenna.

Sorry, I tossed mine a while back because the antenna they painted on was of poor design. Guess the people who designed it did not check wave lengths or SWR. They may have corrected that since I bought mine. Complain to the seller, they may just give you another one.

I do not have the slightest idea. As the antenna mounts within a manufacturers product line are the same there is a possibility of compatibility. Is it matched to the frequency range is anybodies guess. Have you checked the specs?

I suggest the 220 specific antenna (NA-702) made by Nagoya. They also have a few 144/440 based antennas (701/771) but they do not work well on 220.

No this will not work for that radio shack has out side am/fm radio antenna that will serve the purpoes you need this is over kill for c.b/ ham radio only you can buy a nice antenna from radio shack for a fraction of the price you can do a chimmey mount antenna just make sure to ground the antenna to ground in case of lightening run a twin lead off of the antenna to inside and connect to radio you should get good reseption depending on your area signed a ham radio tech

Any good quality and properly tuned CB antenna will work just fine with this radio.

I'm not sure what you are needing an antenna for...TV or radio. I have this unit, hooked up to our cable system that we have for our other TV. Works great on cable; I don't know if you can use it with an antenna or not. Sorry! D.Minton

The stock antenna works good but I believe you will be satisfied with another antenna. I just ordered another one to try to see which I like better.

Reading the description of that antenna, I noticed that it has a built in amplifier. Try using it first, to see what your reception is, before adding a separate amp.

not sure. I still need to get a wire to hook it all up. According to the R/C guy it should be good beyond line of sight with an aftermarket antenna.

I don't have a good experience with any antennas. Signal is always weak and unstable. Beater choice- streaming TV.
