Mobile Antenna

WARNING! The antenna used for this radio must be installed at least 13.4 

inches (34 cm) away from all persons. The antenna must not be collocated 

or used with any other antenna or transmitter.  

 

CAUTION: Never operate your radio with no antenna or with a damaged 

antenna cable. This can damage the radio.

You must purchase an antenna to operate this radio. Because the 

maximum power output of the transmitter is limited by the FCC, the 

quality of your antenna is very important. To achieve the maximum 

transmission distance, Uniden strongly recommends that you install only 

a high quality antenna. You have just purchased a superior transceiver - 

don't diminish its performance by installing an inferior antenna. 

Only a properly matched antenna system will allow maximum power 

transfer from the 50 ohm transmission line to the radiating element. 

Your Uniden dealer is qualified to help you select the proper antenna for 

your requirements. A whip style antenna may be used for automobile 

installation. 

A short ‘loaded’ whip antenna is easier to install on an automobile, but its 

efficiency is less than that of a full quarter-wave whip antenna. 

Wireless CB Microphone Installation (Optional)

Your PC787 is compatible with Uniden’s BC906W Wireless CB 

Microphone.  With a range up to 300 feet, the BC906W allows you to use 

your CB to communicate even when you need to get out of your vehicle.  

Follow the instructions provided in the BC906W kit to install the wireless 

microphone.

Connecting the Power Cords 

Uniden recommends connecting the power lead to the Ignition Switch 

Accessory Terminal. This way, the transceiver is automatically turned off 

when the ignition switch is turned off. 

As an alternative, the power cord may be connected to an available 

terminal on the fuse block or to a point in the wiring harness. However,
