What is better tecson 660slv or tecson 660 and do I need a external antenna?

The 660 slv is just the silver version rather than the black; identical otherwise. Mine came with a simple external antenna about 10-15 ft long that plugs into the antenna jack on the radio and has a clip on the other end to attach to whatever is handy to string it out. Use it judicially though; it not only increases reception of signals but background noises and interference from nearby electronics (TVs, etc).

either is a good receiver but an outside wire ( at least 80 ft )would greatly increce your receive capabilaties

The antenna is not great and there may be feedback to damage the output transistor on 7w. Get a dipole online and then go to 7w.

I'm with youColtswalker. There are transmitters that qualify under Part 15 (some sold on Amazon) but not with any sort of external antenna, so.......

There is an internal antenna built into the unit. An external antenna is used when the unit is installed on an inner cabin of a big boat. When the unit is installed in an open air position the internal antenna is more than enough for the unit to perform flawlessly. I use mine with no antenna and I could not be happier with the way my unit has worked for me. John

You should be able to use any distribution amplifier with the lna-200 just make sure the coax from antenna connects to power injection portion of lna-200 and output side then connects to the distribution amp Of course the actual LNA-200 is mounted near the antenna.

Yes it is. Make sure that the model you buy has an internal antenna. If not, you will need to purchase an external antenna.

The ENH500 does not have an external antenna port. While this is a wireless access point, is is intended for point-to-point use, with a narrow broadcast. If you are looking for 5GHz band with external ports, ENH220EXT or an ENS500EXT.

It doesn't include the external booster antenna since it's not need in most applications. There is an internal WiFi antenna that's pretty strong. If the booster antenna is needed (typically a large safe application) it can be ordered at Ideal Sciences for $14.99

I wouldn't listen to all the naysayers. I have a Tecsun PL 660, and yeah it's good, but I also want one of these. And I've heard good things about them too. One feature I like is the light stays on while plugged in (while the Tecsun doesn't).

The PL 660 is a very good radio.. I have had mine around 2 years now and have had no problem with it. I am very perticular about reception on all the bands and this radio does an excellent job.. AM and FM reception is great... Shortwave and Side Band work very well and I also can pick up many airplanes both near and far.. It is more sensitive than my Bearcat Scanner SC 150 and I was suprised about that..It puts me to sleep every night and when I go somewhere I just unplug it and take it with me.. Battery life is fine with the rechargable batteries... Save your money and get a PL 660...It is all the radio you will ever need... The PL 660 is a very good radio..

Check Www.frys.com look for wireless router/access point external antenna. Check pepwave specs for connector spec.

The built-in antenna works fine. I have a 700 series external antenna and the 597cidi combo with an internal and notice no difference. I like the internal antenna- no mounting.

You want the LNA 200 as close to the antenna as possible. The power inserter can be anywhere down the line.

I only see one option listed in the user manual. It is model GSU-5H. My CP190i is mounted on the flying bridge so I don't use an external antenna.

yes--you need the transmitter. I think that the 170 model is different technology than the 160.

Antenna's position is The Key!!!And I use this Antenna:Philips SDV1225T/27 Indoor Passive Antennahttp://www.frys.com/product/6640864?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PGSometimes I get almost 90ch but most are foriegn! (Spanish Asian)

First of all I am a ham radio operator and may have a better understanding of radio wave propagation. I say this because many people feel their radio is not receiving as well as it should be. At this time in the sun spot cycle the bands are not too good. 40 meters should give you some good activity late in the day and early evening. Now as far as your external antenna goes it will be best if it is resonant to the frequency you wish to receive. On my pl660 the lower frequencies respond better to the plug-in wire supplied with the radio. You can buy one of those tuned antennas that plug in. Go on youtube and put in degan w31ms.
