HELP needed

Post by CATHONY1504 »

Hi all, somehow i've managed to loose the "ribbon" antenna & 240v adaptor from my Uniden Bearcat UBC355CLT !
Can anyone recommend a supplier who can replace these....OR, failing that, a detailed "home-build" ie, lengths of wire, connectors etc, suitable for AIRBAND ?
As you can probably gather, i'm a newbie!
thanks

The supplied antenna is crude to say the least, if you really, really want the measurement then its 'radiator' is 2 feet long.

You will get a better performance indoors from the whip antenna supplied.

The AC adaptor is nothing special either, any 12v adaptor over 500ma with +ve centre pin will do so long as the jack fits, or you can use the supplied DC cord to stick it on an old CB PSU.
