To use the antenna, unscrew the "rubber ducky" antenna from the handheld radio. In its place, screw on the coupling at the end of the cable connected to the radio. The setup works best with two people: one to operate the radio, and another to point the antenna skyward. With the antenna connected and working, the signal coming in from the Relay should sound stronger and clearer. | To use the antenna, unscrew the "rubber ducky" antenna from the handheld radio.

The cable that connects the antenna to the radio is a 10 ft. RG142 N Male to N Male RF coaxial cable. It is not a good idea to go longer than 10 feet in length because, as the radio is UHF, the operator may experience signal loss. | |||
