Yes, the antenna is, in fact, detachable. It is a standard male/female system that is very solid without overtightening. I picked up some Galati Gear Molle Radio Pouches here on Amazon. They are the best, in my opinion and the molle system works well with my gear.

Yes the antenna is detachable. In case you are thinking of using an external antenna for a `fixed' or mobile configuration, be aware that the supplied antenna appears to be unbalanced. It has a simple threaded connection and not one of the coaxial type of connectors, PL239/259, 'N', BNC etcetera. Matching an external antenna may therefore be problematic.

The antenna is detachable. It would be a good feature if the antenna had a N type connector but it is a female treaded connector. You may want to recommend this change to the manufacture.

Yes, the antenna is detachable. The radio has a female threaded connector. Looks like about a 3/32" size to me. Of course the antenna has a corresponding male connector.Douglas

No it is not detachable. Can't answer why they call it a USB cable, it definately is not.

Yes, you can unscrew the antenna, but since the antenna cable is hard-wired, no connector on the antenna base, you cannot put away the antenna.

No; no external connector. But I just wrapped some wire around the antenna and it boosted the gain as you'd expect. I'm receiving a faint FM signal across the building where I work so that I can listen to another worker's XM. Works well.

The antenna does not need an adapter. It comes with the coax cable connector.

Yes. On one end the cable is molded into the antenna. On the other end is a connector that goes into the back of the radio.

Antennas are detachable (scew in) but the base attached to the board is cheap quality and can easily break. Mine broke and has rendered the unit useless (for wireless) as only way to get this repaired would be to solder the new socket on to the board which entails shipping it back for repair or replacement and since this happened just after a year of purchase, it would be costly.

Its a SMA antenna connector. I recommend getting a SMA Female to UHF Female RF Adapter OR better yet and easier to use a UHF SO239 PL259 female to MCX male right angle connector RG316 20CM. Amazon sells both of these

John the antenna can be removed. I do not have in front of me but I think it is a bit conector.

No it just has an attached coaxial connection. I am not aware of any others. You would have to google it and look for an adapter if that format exsist.

You cannot remove cable from the antenna but you can unplug the cable from the receiver.

The antenna is detachable and I think it can be replaced with another SMA antenna; the connector is SMA like however I really didn't test it so I can't be 100% shure but I would say it is likely.

Not sure, you'll have to look at the connector and if there are adapters. That said, I think the connectors are pretty standard. I forgot the router I got it for (don't have it anymore), but it was a standard one that I got from Verizon. The antenna worked great.

The connector only allows for auto/marine application. Also, this antenna more expensive than any FM loop antenna.

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

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.

No, the connectors are a hybrid variety and can be twisted open to allow a stripped wire to attach. I am really enjoying this receiver. I highly recommend it for the price.
