My antenna connection broke. Can I use the USB somehow?

I'm not aware of an Over The Air (OTA) antenna that uses USB, so I don't think USB is going to help you. As good as these TV's are, yet impossible to find, I'd shop around the TV/electronics repair shops in the area & see who will fix it for the most reasonable price. Since it's a coaxial cable input in question, you could check w/ your local cable companies & see what they'd charge to fix it.

Yes plug into USB coming out of the radio. There are no additional cables needed to buy.

I live in a rural area. My range is double - maybe triple - of other standard USB antennas that I tried. I can pick up signals from much further than that but not connect to them. About 300 yards and at a weak connection is the best I've done with mine. Full strength at 100 yards.

This is a USB extension. If you're trying to extend a plug-in WiFi module then yes. It will not work for an external antenna connection (e.g. for an internal WiFi card).

Use any length USB cable i.e. RadioShack Model: 13172 | Catalog #: 55010623

I don't believe you can. If it doesn't have a USB plug or adapter, You can't plug it in.

Raise the antenna. Maybe purchase an external antenna and plug it into the antenna slot.

You can purchase the USB cable at Baofeng USB Programming Cable for Baofeng Two way Radio UV-5R, BF-888S,BF-F8+ With Driver CD for less than $7.00 and free shipping. I comes from China and it only too about two weeks to receive mine. Hope this helps

Check out the connector on this antenna and then check out the external antenna connection on your cell phone.If they don't match, you can get an adapter from Amazon.

EASILY -Just plug one of these into any USB port (front or back): Etekcity Wireless N WiFi Dongle / Network Adapter, Dual 6dBi Antenna, 4-feet Mini USB Cable (2.4GHz, 300Mbps)Done deal. Works FANTASTIC.- Ron

My computer recognized the USB chipset in the cord and applied a generic driver. I have no idea whether it had it onboard or pulled it off the net. This cord works with CHIRP. When you try to download from the radio you will be presented with a small menu box to select port, radio brand, and model before it will attempt to download. be sure that it is firmly seated in the speaker jack of the radio.

Any USB port should work. The question is how it will pick up your wireless network? Can't answer that for you. That depends the signal and the environment.

No it doesn't have a usb type connection. It has a screw on fitting like cable tv uses. Incidentally I really like this little antenna. The magnet sticks it to my wall mount out of the way.

The only connection is a fixed thunderbolt, so I'm not sure you'd be able to connect it. There's no USB on it.

The antenna on to is the only connection , use an adapter to connect to your coax. This should achieve what your looking to do.
