I bought the Midland GXT1000VP4 36-Mile 50-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio and it works perfectly. I think just about any Midland radio will work with the base unit.

The portable radio XMP3i (XM subscription) is best used outside in the open with the external antenna ear phone accessory. If you have a Sirius subscription the Lynx portable with vehicle accessories would be your best bet. Be forewarned satellite radio requires direct line of site to connect with the service!

The UV-5R is FCC Part 90 type accepted. Unless your license specifically states a 1watt max, you are ok to run higher power. Narrow band is a must. Spend another 8 bucks and by the programming cable. Then go to http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home and down load a program that works real well. Good luck, it's an amazing radio.

Any 5 or more channel transmitter will work. Just make sure the receiver will link up with the transmitter. I don't think the kit comes with any radio gear.

I have both, and for $27 (on sale -$5 coupon), the Baofeng UV-5B, cannot be beat. but I did purchase two, just in case one dies an untimely death :-)https://hamgear.wordpress.com/2013/07/15/whats-the-best-chinese-dual-band-ht/

Tom, I believe it can be connected to an external antenna. I looked at one at "The GPS Store" and on Amazon, I think, but I communicated with a friend on a ship about 20 miles away this morning and it was like he was standing next to me...although his radio was an Icom with an antenna about 70 feet in the air. I was standing in my kitchen. So, to make a short story long, I think there is an external antenna that will fit on the handheld.

It wouldn't be my first choice. This radio is ok but it's overly complicated and quality of speaker is not good. If you want good AM reception get a Sangean PRD5 or PRD7. Both are excellent AM radios. If you want a small pocket radio a Sangean DT400 is really good.

The FM radio is pretty good, you can program it to your desired stations and listen to the ones you want, the COBY MP3610 has a slightly better radio program, but since these are both manufactured by COBY, both are good..Hope I was of help.. :)

Works fine. You must have a standard CB outlet on your handheld. Cable and male end are on antenna. Magnetic mount can scratch paint when you remove antenna from vehicle. Be careful. . Rubber pad under the antenna is good. dentyl

so far I have only tired it on the HT-1000, since it is the only radio we carry/issue. Best bet is to google it.

You haven't said what radio you own and if it has an input for a medium wave antenna, if it doesn't you simply place the antenna close to the radio and you use the tunning knob on the antenna for best reception. You should also rotate the antenna slowly. In case the radio has a mini plug input for that antenna then you have to get a mini to mini cable and connect it that way.

Any standard antenna with a din connector. I would consult the antenna company as they will explain the properties of their antennas. You may want to optimize the location of your device first away from other wireless devices, metal, glass with reflective tape etc as they affect wireless propagation.

I think the better option would be to go with bluetooth, although with all the correct components you could use RF24L01.

Pretty much any dongle should work. But make sure you get one of good quality, so that the sound you receive won't suffer.

Many police signals/broadcasts are now digital, so the analog scanners will do no good for that type signal. Some local PDs still might run some broadcasting on analog, bit most state police, atf, etc are digital. Google "radio reference", get to their different forums for the state you live in.I'm thinking about getting the 750 myself. Did you wind up keeping it? It seems to be good for Ham radio listening.

You would need to check the rating on the adapter itself, or see if it is mentioned in the description. Personally, I would buy a Sangean radio, as all newer Grundig/Eton radios are pure junk.
