Can you attach dual band external antennas to this base station? If so which ones do you recommend to attach to a roof?

Hi Beth, no, you can not, however, in all honesty you really wouldn't need to do this with this particular unit, the reception is amazingly wonderful,i have 3 base units and 1 hand held and I never experience any interference at all. I hope I have helped you. Take care.sincerely:Ray R.

Yes, but you don't need dual band antenna as unit operates in 150-160 MHz range only. Base unit has standard 50 ohm BNC connector for antenna. External antennas are legal for this MURS unit.

I don't know the answer but if you call Dakota Alert Company they will tell you. I have called them over the years with questions and they have always been very friendly.

yes you can, has a BNC connector on the side, dual band antennas are for VHF and UHF, MURS is on VHF, it will work.

yes mine works great had similar problem now get 3-5 bar signal strength. Mounted the antenna on top edge of roof chimney and mounted reciever in my sunroof and works great.

If you have cell power when outside your building even if it is weak, this product will work just fine. Remember the external antenna is on your roof?

This device does not come with any antennas. You will need an internal and an external antenna. Plus N to F connector adapters if you choose to use coax with F connectors.

I really don't know...so sorry...we bought these a while ago. I don't really know what a base station is.

I am using the Verizon Network Extender and the external antenna works awesome! I would like it would work with other network extenders.

Yes. On the back, on the left-hand side, you can hook-up an external antenna. In fact, one comes included. I wanted one that would give me better reception, so I bought one at Radio Shack for about $13.

There is no provision for an additional antenna. The radio is very good at pulling in signals, including the weather stations. Positioning the receiver next to a window would probably work. It's a well engineered receiver.

Yes you'll need an external antenna to get any signal at all. I used a set of poly planar's water proof speakers. As long as you keep within the radio output specifications, you should be fine

Mounted on roof should work great just aim correctly to get best signal. Install like any other large antenna. Its light weight for its size. Having flat terrain should work even better.

That should be no issue. That is approximately what I have if you include the mast and the antenna. I don't do a lot of movement from station to station. You may find that may be a hindrance to your needs. It has been though the winter and several strong storms and no problems yet.Hope this helps

I have a metal roof on my house. I have the antenna mounted on the end of the roof closest to the cell tower. I am behind a hill that previously blocked all reception. I do have to have the phone close to the inside antenna (15' to 25') and not in the room where my wifi router is.

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

The three antennas are included, do make sure that you attach them per the install instructions.p or they will not work optimally.

You can purchase a magnetic mount that bolts to the base of this antenna. It is a very strong magnet and worth the money.

Yes, 3/4' hole in the roof. You could buy a NMO magnet mount antenna base from a ham radio supply store and it would work fine. But tree limbs can knock it off.

Yes you can connect an external antenna to this receiver. As I have never needed an external antenna, I can't comment on choice of type or make.
