User questions & answers

Question: is the sma a male or female connection on the antenna
Answer: The SRH519 has a male SMA connector.
Question: Will this connect to uniden sds
Answer: The Uniden website does not specify whether the SDS100 requires an SMA male or female, so I'm not sure whether the standard Diamond 519 will serve. However, the 519 is very definitely the wrong antenna for a digital scanner, which operates primarily in the 800 Mhz spectrum. Get an 800 Mhz antenna and you will be much better served.

User questions & answers

Question: Is it an oem antenna ? what is the rx range ? is it any better that the dimond srh77ca ? i am new to ham radio so i do not know a lot of things
Answer: This is an OEM antenna. For 430~440 Mhz, it's great, but range depends on many factors. I would say the srh77ca is a little better.
Question: Will this mate up to a urdien bearcat handheld scanner
Answer: I think your scanner has a BNC connection with it's antenna and this has an SMA connector, so no - I think you'd need a better multi-band antenna as well, although this says 144-430 Mhz, when extended it's best gain is for 430 Mhz.

User questions & answers

Question: Will it work on a radio shack pro 97 handheld? scanner
Answer: As long as your scanner has a bnc type connecter it will work! If not, you will need an adapter!
Question: Does this work with 27 MHz Handheld cb
Answer: No, it could work on 50 to 225 MHz on a transmitter side, but it won't work on the UHF transceiver after I've tried to tune that antenna on my antenna analyzer. But it will work good on 20 to 1300 MHz on a receiver, or a scanner, or a shortwave receiver pick up on WWV on 10 MHz and 15 MHz with a strong signal condition, or shortwave broadcast radio stations with a strong signal condition, and those local AM broadcast radio stations with a strong signal.
Question: Will this work on a midland
Answer: Midland 75-822 is a CB radio. For Americans that's 4w AM around 27 to 28mhz. That's in the advertised range, but you'd want to be careful to tune it (and then never change the length!) before use to avoid burning out the radio.
Question: How far can it reach on a bc75xlt
Answer: I don't understand your question. Are you asking about how long the antenna is or how much it will improve the performance of the radio? If it's the range of the radio, it will do better on VHF high band than the standard rubber antenna if the rod is extended to about 18". It's generally not a matter of range but improving the signal strength and readability of existing weak signals. If the station you want is in the VHF low band (30-50 MHz) or CB (27 MHz), this antenna will make a substantial improvement over a standard rubber antenna. Range is dependent on too many factors to make a definite statement about improvement but, in most cases, you can expect a 25-30% improvement in range. A consideration with a small handheld like the BC75XLT is that this antenna is quite heavy because it has so many sections. It's likely the radio would easily topple over while sitting on a flat surface. It's about four feet long fully extended.
