Fixed antena. Works perfect, i have been using this unit qnd othe similar for 4 years in salt water enviromet

Different antennas have different freq. spectrum. You should be able to buy an adapter. Anything else would be stealing Satellite time.

Yes you can. There's a small flap by the antenna that you pull up. I love the walkie talkie set.

It has been a very long time since I have used this antenna, but I do think you can unscrew the black antenna it comes with. That being said, used as is this antenna is extremely weak; there was no noticeable difference in my ability to pick up a signal. I would strongly recommend spending a little extra on a better antenna that actually works.

Hi Kristen, it doesn't automatically change the radio station. In all reality, I wouldn't recommend this product though. When it did work, it worked well, but it stopped working after a measly 2 weeks of use. Just shut off and that was that. I didn't get another one so I only have experience from using one product, but that's my two cents.

Yes, the app will control which frequency it broadcasts on so you can change it whenever you need to.

I own two antennas; one for 2 years. It would either be the signal going to the antenna from the broadcasting center changed or a glitz with the tv and it needs reprogramed.

It could be done. First try to use a simple piece of stiff wire, like a brazing rod or a bicycle wheel spoke. If you can get that to contact a place in the center of where the metal antenna normally goes, then you could figure a way to make this work. Replacement antennas similar to the original one are available for about the same price as this unit...or make your own with wire.

No, your antenna choice has to do with where on your vehicle it is to be installed.

I don't think it can be altered. I ordered 3 at different times and was able to specified the frequency so I was able to get different ones. Maybe the company will let you exchange it.

No. You can pickup strong signals with the existing antenna. If you hook that antenna with a long wire you can pick up a lot more stations.

It will certainly allow you to change the input to the radio and band and shut down any other components not needed for the radio. Then, within the device menu, you can go to receiver and setup preset stations. It's not as easy as setting up preset TV stations, that appear automatically in TV mode.

The antenna is interchangeable. I replaced it with another from amazon and got some improvement. It still skips on rare occasion, and really only connects well in the same room as the receivwr

Yes it can. Antennas are simply a proportional measurement of the physical wavelength of the frequency being operated. It will only require tuning for 10 meters, in the same manner you would tune it for 11 meters (aka CB). As the frequency increased, the physical size of a resonant antenna will decrease. 10 meters is a higher frequency than CB, so the antenna will need some trimming. Cut no more than 1/4" at a time and recheck with your SWR meter. I will add that you need a license to operate on 10 meters. Since you are asking this question, I am assuming that you don't have your Tech or General class Amateur ticket. Yes it can.

I see no reason to upgrade the antenna, I would imagine you could as the connector is a standard BNC.

If I am following you correctly in what you are trying to accomplish, why not just take out the entire mast and rotation/attenuator hardware and replace the entire antenna system with the fixed Jack Antenna HDTV System, Model #OA8200. It has a built in amplifier and signal meter. Instead of cutting the mast and modifying it for fitment. It will be lower or as low as the the A/C Unit on the roof. Assuming you have one.

Yes it can be done if you are handy and have good soldering equipment. You can contact Shakespeare for details. However, for the low cost of a new antenna, when you consider it might be needed to save your life, I would just buy a new one.
