@camaspey they make apartment antenna's you can buy off of e-bay, but they don't really get out that well. the best thing to do is put an antenna outside, like a 102 inch stainless steel whip from radio shack.
@TheElpuma94 wire that through connecting the red wire to the possitive, and the half black, half red wire to either a very good ground, or the negative line on the battery. After that, the hard part is done. Next for your antenna, you just want to find a good ground ( i have mine on the hood of my car ) and then just connect the antenna to the radio, and find a channel and start a talking.
@TheElpuma94 I just got done installing one in my car. Well if your going to wire it straight to your battery, you want to get ahold of some good sized wire ( i used 8 guage) if the power lines coming off the box are too short to go directly to your battery. If their long enough, your going to want to find a hole in your firewall. An easy way to do this is to pop the hood and see if you see any holes in an open area in the engine bay where other wires might be going through. If you see one, then
@TheOnlySalvation thanks but no need now.... that was while ago i already got one and installed it. I decided to wire it to the ignition.
