Just bought a Pro-2036 and couldn't find much of anything in the Wiki and searching doesn't reveal much relevant. This RS model was Uniden made, and comparable to their BC890XLT.
The scanner is not going to come with an antenna so I'm open to hearing what anyone has to say about their antenna setup. I plan on using this for specifically the VHF law enforcement band (137-174MHz) and AM freqs from 225 to 400 MHz. I know that's kind of a wide range for custom antennae.
Also, can someone explain this CTCSS board? It seems that is reduces interference in freqs that might be close (in the spectrum) or if two agencies are operating on the same freq?
Thanks in advance for the help. Also, since there is no antenna coming with it- can someone verify it's a BNC connector? Is the jack performing a 90degree angle to support a vertical antenna or will I need to get an adaptor for my antenna?
