not sure what you are asking. but the radio i think you talking about was a modified version. it was modified to receive wideband. it is not the off the shelf verson of the radio.
hope that answers the question
as far as an antenna goes. you will have to track the bird on the pass. you can use a antenna like a ground plane but will not be real happy with the pictures you will get.
