Overview & Setup

Get more from your scanner at home

A properly placed home antenna can bring in signals that a small antenna indoors struggles to receive. This kit helps you put the right pieces together without hunting down every part separately.

Reception depends on terrain, antenna height, nearby buildings, cable loss and the radio systems in your area. There is no honest way to promise a fixed percentage or number of extra miles.

Plan your installation

• Pick your antenna and cable. Make sure the connection and cable length suit your scanner and location.
• Choose a mount. A mast or J-mount may be useful depending on where the antenna will go.
• Plan for outdoor safety. Outdoor antenna installations must follow applicable electrical and grounding requirements. Ask a qualified installer when in doubt.

Common questions

Will this help me hear digital or encrypted channels? An antenna can improve reception of compatible signals, but it cannot add digital capabilities or decode encryption your scanner does not support.

Can I install it myself? Some setups are straightforward; roof mounting, electrical bonding and grounding may require professional help. Check local codes before starting.
