Hi everyone, I am new to this stuff and I purchased a used 560XLT. It did not come with an antenna, and I have been looking around the internet for information on which antenna I need to purchase that will be compatible. I messaged Uniden and they told me to ask here. Can anyone point me in the right direction for what I need to buy for this scanner? I believe this scanner is a bit of a dinosaur, so I may need an adaptor of some kind? I want to make sure I buy the right thing before I order something.

Thanks guys!

If In recall thar scanner is a female motorola jack and same kind that is used on car radios.

You would need a motorola male to BNC female adapter to use a modern BNC scanner antenna.
