I talked to RCA about that and did not get any useable response. According to their website description of those antennas (they have 3 similar ones, amplifier/not amplified/superior reception). I would think that an amplified would allow you to get good reception when having a weak signal, but that would be the only benefit.We know have the antenna sitting in a bookshelf at the bottom, behind some pictures, hardly noticeable. Reception is the same, flawless. And no external power supply needed. Keep in mind that thanks to Amazon's great business policies, you can return the item within 30 days in case you are dissatisfied. I talked to RCA about that and did not get any useable response.

No, I have iPhone 5 there is no external antenna port. This antenna works with 800 to 1900 mhz frequencies , that is GSM,3G, and 4G range , hope this helps Rosita, I wish people would stop answering questions, we have online, when they really don't know the answer.

I dont know, i thought i was ordering a wifi repeater but got an access point and i did not see a place to hook the external antenna to the unit.

An antenna is built in. The connector you refer to is a u.fl testing connection. You can find adapters to connect an external antenna but it was not designed for this use.

Hi Friend. Look the pintures of the product. It´s shown the antenna connector only. In my case I was not buy a extension cable. I used the stock one from the car.

Yes, the system does come with an external antenna. I live in town so I can't really answer your question as to how good the reception is but it works good for me. The cord on the antenna is fairly long so you should be able to get some height when hanging it. I'd say around 5 feet of wire, give or take.

Sorry, I don't know. I just plugged mine in, a few years ago, and have used it ever since with no problems at all. I might add that the antenna it's attached to is an outside HD antenna. I can say with certainty that quite a number of channels, from the antenna, come in far better with the booster (without which some don't come in at all), but I suspect that its amplifying capabilities may not be enough to help much with a much weaker signal than one gets with the outside antenna. ....You might try Googling the model number, though; there might be something available on-line. Good luck.

It does not come with one, however it came with a form that states if you leave a review amazon is supposed to give you a free adapter or antenna. I left my review for that reason. Usually I never do reviews, but I have not received either. Although I have not had the time to pursue inquiry. I will though and try to keep you posted. Hope that helps.

Yes, it comes with the AC/DC adapter. An external antenna is recommended for SW but reception is good with the built-in one.

I have not tried connecting it to an external antenna. Mine is connected to a Cradlepoint wireless router.

An external antenna comes with it. I don't think you can add another one. It's a really fine radio. My classical music station is often hard to get in my area but it comes in very well on this radio.

Check out the review with the 3 star rating By Bee. After the review, the manufacturer responded and recommended improving reception using a different internal and external antenna. I believe the external antenna they referenced is their Yagi direction antenna. They even provide a link to the directional antenna with a female connector, which is on Amazon too.

Hello, and no, there's no port for an external antenna. The antennae are built into the circuit board as I understand it. The Asus routers have a reputation for broad/stable coverage. I've had no issues with it in this regard.

This unit has an internal antenna but you can buy an external antenna from Lowrance

Not sure what the question really means, if you could further explain, but I'll give it a shot. If what you mean is if the cable is usable outdoors, mine runs through the wall and out side, and the side of the house to get to the antenna. So yes it works for external use. Hope this is helpful!

Can you provide more detail of what you are wanting to do with this Antenna? I used it for an external Antenna to increase my Wireless reception.
