Antenna Identification

One may be a scanner antenna.

Ah ha... I bought a line tracer off amazon a week ago to track down a coax cable, just remembered I had that so I just used it to find out which antenna is which.

The one on the top cap is hooked into the CB. The middle antenna with the curly section has a BNC connector on the end (Cell?), so that leaves the one at the very bottom, and since I can't find the cable end for that I"m going to assume that is the FM antenna.

I don't need a cell antenna, can that be modified to work as a wi-fi antenna? I'm uneducated as to what lengths work for what bands, etc... I believe most wi-fi will work off the 2.4 Ghz band?

Edit: I just tested the one closest to the bottom, it does go to the radio.

Well ok then ? The curly antena is a cb antenna clearly many truck stops sell them almost the same I had one on my tractor ! Cell phone antennas are smaller Wilson sells many types and none are that large . The big coils are popular with the truck driver crowd

The one mounted on the top of the front cap is an ordinary AM/FM dash radio antenna. I had the same antenna on my previous coach.

don't think so but I 'spose anything is possible. CB antennas come in all shapes and sizes. I'm a ham and have been around this stuff for close to 50-years and my best guess is that it's a cellular antenna. not sure for which band, though. how old is the coach?

the antenna in the lower photo with the curly section is almost certainly a cell phone antenna.

the antenna on the left in the upper photo may be a wifi antenna. can you show a photo of the connector on the end of the cable for that antenna?
