Where is the EXTERNAL antenna jack?
Looks like it's on the left side on the top. From the antenna, I'm guessing SMA.

Nice gimmick scanner for the traveller. I can't see having one if you are serious about this hobby.

To be honest, I like the other answer, too - it's not dumbed down - it's smart enough to not need detailed programming (or some such words).
Regardless, I know of a lot of people who should have this model rather than any current model P25 scanner.

Battery power. I wonder if it can be USB powered / charged too?
From UPMan's comments, when connected to a pc via a USB cable, the scanner will show up on the pc as if it were a hard drive, so that you could "massage" the programming with the software on the pc instead of on the scanner. Software was not 'demo'd'.Anyone seen the software being installed? Is the USB driver part of the software installation? I'm assuming that it's specific to this scanner.

Charged - maybe. Powered, I doubt it.
USB can only provide a small amount of current - much less than would be required by a scanner (mainly due to the audio amplifier).
The charging would depend on the capacity of the battery.
