Always use 50 Ohm coaxial cable,
such as RG-58 or RG-8, to
connect an outdoor antenna. For
lengths over 50 feet, use RG-8
low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. If
the antenna cable's connector
does not have a BNC connector,
you will also need a BNC adapter
(not supplied, available at your
local RadioShack store).
Follow the installation instructions
supplied with the antenna, route
the antenna cable to the scanner,
then connect it to the antenna
jack.

let it go! It could
contact overhead

the antenna. DO
NOT attempt to do
so yourself.
