Connecting The Supplied Antenna; Connecting An Outdoor Antenna; Connecting An Earphone/Headphones - GRE PSR-200U Owner's Manual

CONNECTING THE SUPPLIED ANTENNA

You must install an antenna before you can operate the scanner.
The supplied telescoping antenna helps your scanner receive strong local
signals. To install the antenna, thread it clockwise into the hole on top of the
scanner.
The scanner's sensitivity depends on its location and the antenna's length.
For the best reception of the transmissions you want to hear, adjust the
antenna's length according to the chart below.
Frequency
29-174 MHz
380-512 MHz

Connecting an Outdoor Antenna

The antenna connector on your scanner makes it easy to use the scanner
with a variety of antennas, such as an external mobile antenna or outdoor
base station antenna.
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 adaptor.
Follow the installation instructions supplied with the antenna, route the
antenna cable to the scanner, then connect it to the antenna jack.
Warning: Use extreme caution when you installing or removing an
outdoor antenna. If the antenna starts to fall, let it go! It could contact
overhead power lines. If the antenna touches a power line, contact
with the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause electrocution
and death. Call the power company to remove the antenna. DO NOT
attempt to do so yourself.
