My radio isnt brining stations in. Low mileage radio. I do not see an antenna connected in the back. I dont see any mention via the on-line manual. I do see a round port on the back with nothing in it. Is that where the antenna should go? If so I dont see how to purchase an antenna on line. I do see blue tooth type connectors I think using that port. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The antenna jack is located on the bottom corner, opposite side of the power plug.

Standard Motorola antenna jack. Been in use since the 1950s (Guessing)
