Can you unscrew the antenna and replace it with another one?

Yes you can. We have a rather large service center, these have worked out great. Had to replace a couple of antenna's from droppage and also belt clips!!!

You wouldn't replace the antenna internally, taking this radio apart. You are better off extending it fully and taking the little screw out of the pivot point by the base, taking care not to push it into the radio body thereby ruining your day and forcing a disassembly. At that point you can fit a taller antenna into the base, assuming the width of the spade is the same as the old one. However, if you put a longer antenna on you'll probably have some extending out of the body which is asking for trouble. My advice is leave it alone. If you must have more length just fashion a wire with an alligator clip at one end and clip it to the extended antenna. The stock antenna is fine for this unit.

No it is not. It has a permanent cable that goes into the bottom of the device and if damaged, the entire antenna will need to be replaced. The cable is smaller around than the cable that was on the antenna I replaced.

I could find one, so I quickly removed antennae, with open end wrench and put the antennae inside for replacement once I take the cover off.

No, but you can buy a regular bendable antenna for a few bucks and replace it.

The antenna is fixed and cannot be changed. You might be able to add a connector if you have good soldering skills, but I have not opened mine to confirm. It works fine for me and has good coverage.

You need to purchase the adapter to cover the old mounting holes. Then remove old antenna. New one doesn't go up & down.

It is detachable. You can replace it with your directional antenna if yours does fit.

I am sure you can buy another antenna. However, the antenna included is a small one already compared to others. Good luck!

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.

Hi, Yes, the antenna is replaceable, just unscrews. I feel the factory 6" antenna has acceptable gain, but I guess this is personal preference.Bob

if your old cable is working fine, then all you need to do is connect it to the new antenna. It doesn't come with a new cable.

You should be able to reuse them. Just be careful removing the digitizer because the antenna is attached to it. Good luck!

Yes it can be done if you are handy and have good soldering equipment. You can contact Shakespeare for details. However, for the low cost of a new antenna, when you consider it might be needed to save your life, I would just buy a new one.

Most antennas can be unscrewed. Failing that, there is probably enough space to put the board to one side of the antenna.

yes you can unplug the small antenna and hook up any other vhf antenna in it's place

No. You can pickup strong signals with the existing antenna. If you hook that antenna with a long wire you can pick up a lot more stations.
