What antenna cable do I need to connect to a mobile unit? I want to be able to use it in the shack.

You will need RG-8 cable and a barrel connector for PL-259. 2PCS RF connector adapter PL259 - PL259 / female-female50ft Rg8x Coax UHF (Pl259) Male/male 50 Ohm Antenna Cable

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.

If you can, use LMR-400 (though it will be a pain to route in a regular car). The smaller you go from here, the 'lossier' the cable will become.

Trial and error would be your best bet. If you have a previous cable provider you can connect the antenna in to the input and send the signal throughout your home of course that would mean mounting it outside. I did this and it worked great.

Ah, crap I'm too late and the answer is gone...um... so does it include it's own cable and what kind will I need? I'm looking at this "RG6 Premium Solid Copper Quad-shield Coaxial Cable" does anyone know if that's the right kind for this antenna?

Hi Leanne, Thanks for your question. In response, Yes you can. You'll just need to point the internal antenna towards where the unit will be placed. If you have any other questions, just let us know. Have a blessed day, Mark

the one that comes with it is junk and is only 6 feet....any cable will work....the best thing to do is to go to you old cable box and back feed the wiring thats already in the house...i gotten a house with 6 tv's up and running this way without running one new wire!!! antenna is GREAT when you get it aimed right....moving it a inch in ether direction can make a station come in or not be there at all....make sure its over the roof line unless you know all the tv stations are in one direction...if you go to tvfool.com and type in your address is will show you where EVERY tv station is relitive to where you are so you know where to aim the antenna...also this one is NOT good if the station are over 45 miles

You don't need to have antenna. It's a mobile device that can be plugged into your computer or a power source.

Haha. MY BAD. I'm an idiot. You do need the cable. You also have to have AppRadio app installed on your phone. It has been awhile since I've used it, I switched to a Galaxy S4 since I purchased the cable, and my head unit doesn't support Android AppRadio. :'(

First, you need a FCC technician license or above to operate on 2-meters. Additionally, it depends if your going to use it as a base station or mobile? Mobile operation requires a 2-meter or duel band antenna and coax. Base station use requires a 13.8 volt power supply, enough coax to get outside or in the attic. Then a 2- meter or duel band base antenna that works on 144-148 megahertz.

The antenna on to is the only connection , use an adapter to connect to your coax. This should achieve what your looking to do.

Type in "coax cable" in amazon. One of the first things will be an "extension adapter" this allows you to connect the antenna to another cable. Then you just buy a coax cable of whatever length you need.

You need and HD source. OTA antenna if you can pick up locals, sat., or cable box with HDMI or component outputs.

You will need a antenna and I bought one from amazon. Look for marine antenna, it works great. Dual MAR16B Marine Flexible Mast Antenna Black, its small and works great.

Also. This does not have built in antenna. So have to buy quick connect antenna which plugs into antenna jack in back of unit.

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

I do have different plate that fit in the docking station for different size portable radios, and I also have all the original cords and adapters. The only thing you have to do is plug into a regular outlet, it already has a antenna. I hope this answers your questions, if not you contact me again. Thank you

The users manual shows that it can be connected to a "VHF/UHF analog or DTV antenna" using an RF coaxial cable. It also says that using an "outdoor or attic antenna will be more effective than a set top or inside antenna."

Hello, you certainly need this item:Wilson Electronics Dual Band - 800-1900 MHz Magnet Mount Antenna with SMA Male Connector and 10-Foot RG174 Coax Cable. This antenna also works real good indoors (I use mine indoors, it is stuck on top of my computer tower). Naturally, if you want, you can mount it on top of your car and use it mobile. This item really helps boost your signal all the way around. Regards, John
