Just got a new 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 and decided to install my Kenwood TK5710 mobile radio. I have had this radio for a few years now and love it. Easy to program and installation isn't bad, just takes a bit of time if you want it done neatly.
I think he was thinking that the other antenna was for scanner. You have to be careful and I like to have at least a foot separation between a scanner and an another radio. You can desense the scanner by transmitting too high of a power/too close. You can also permanently fry the receiver even from a 5W handheld radio if youre close enough to a scanner. If youre operating at anything over 25W then id move the antennas as far apart as I could. Maybe even put an attenuator or filter on your scanner antenna feed.
I talk on my frs radio and it frys when I talk but my radio never went out. I get weird inference on my scanner from near by radios.
Sorry, you what?
