I bought a adapter at radio shack for $7.00 & use a CB antennae. it works better at pulling in weak or distant frequencies. if you take the indoor antennae that came with the scanner, radio shack can match it right up.

The car type connector will not work. I believe the name of the connector is a BNC connector. Its the kind you usually find on handheld scanners and such. If you google BNC connector, you will have a good idea of what it looks like. Also, it does come with a decent car window antenna. Hope this helps

Side note with this. Be careful using this in a vehicle it is illegal in many states unless you have a ham radio license. I am not trying to pick a fight or tell you what to do I don't even care if you do it or not just a lot of people don't know this. The adapter that Dennis answered with works really good also.

you need an SMA Reverse polarity Male connector, other wise youll be stock with an antenna you cant use.

I actually have one in my RV but have a truckers antenna rather than the magnetic mount antenna. There was no place to put the magnet mount antenna and the trucker antenna was better. You have to be close to the inside antenna for it to work. I do have service in places where other people don't and have on 2 occasions letother people use it in an emergency. Wilson has very good service. You might contact them for recommendations.

After looking at the other answers---yes, the antenna connector will connect to the Wilson amplifier, but you can also use the antenna as a stand-alone with the cell phone. Truckers often get the Wilson amp, which is NOT cheap, to use with this antenna because they may be in very poor cell reception areas. I'm actually using this antenna at home. It has what is called a "ground plane"---that's the solid lines sticking out horizontally. With a "ground plane", you can place the antenna anywhere---on a car or truck or on a pole at home. Just be sure to keep the antenna away from metal, like the roof. The antenna normally mounts on the external mirror bracket on a truck, which positions it up and away from the roof of the vehicle.

I bought mine to use with a dogbone adapter to plug into my 50 amp cord. I can't say if the female end of this cable will plug into the inlet on the RV. If you Google the part number, you should find several pictures and might be able to see the female end better. I also believe that you can call any RV store and ask for the parts department. They should be able to answer this.

this is an adapter to use an old original antenna with a new radio that has a small mini hole for an antenna but the antenna from the original car won't fit.The adapter does not include an antenna.

Would depend on the area of course. The antenna worked as advertised and pulled in the major channels. My only issue is not with the antenna but with the digital signals in my area being weak. As long as your RV travels keep you near a metropolitan area this antenna will work. Hope this helped.

There is no connector for an external antenna. The unit runs quite warm ehen it's in use ans when charging.

Yes - it takes a specific antenna connection, I do not know what the specification is.

Just the antenna, really. If you install the CB in a vehicle a magnetic mount antenna should come with a feed line that plugs into the back of the CB along with the antenna and a magnetic mount. I'm not sure if the power leads from the CB conclude to a DC car plug or terminate with no plug. I think no plug but you can purchase one at Radio Shack. There should be one that does not require soldering and installs in a few minutes.

if your radio has a coax antenna-in connector, just attach the coax cable from the antenna. If your radio has screw or push-in connections for bare wires, the antenna comes with an adapter that attaches to the coax cable at one end and has two lead wires at the other end to either push-in or fit under the screw heads on your radio.

It came with a small connector, but nothing to bring into the house. This antenna was not very good, could not bring in basic channels, we live in a small town valley in Maine. We have always has really good reception with Radio Shack but was trying to save money, so turned around and bought another one at Radio Shack.

if you have a 12V source of power, and the radio you connect to has an automotive style antenna connector.. so for most cases ..no.. but great for most RV's..

If it won't hook up to the radio, will need to buy adapter that alowes you to hook up to the antenna lead and work through your radio

I don't know what to say about the kind of antenna it has. It's small. I tried to find an extension cord for it. I went to Fry's Electronics, Radio Shack and I looked on the internet and I couldn't find anything with a connector like what this antenna has. The antenna did a good job of picking up the radios station that I wanted to listen to at my desk. I set it on the window sill.I'm not using this device any longer.Read my review of this Antenna for additional information.

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.
