DX-394 Telescoping Antenna

[dlwtrunked]

When using an external antenna should the telescoping antenna still be attached?

Thanks

Not in general. If a good external antenna is attached, the telescoping whip may add interference to the desired signal.

I've always unscrewed the whip when using the exterior antenna. Always worried about snapping it off.
