    I don't know which model is your scanner, but TEMS SRUs offer two antennas, second one is for diversity.

    Hi

    I think you use pctel scanner. Pctel has got 4 ports,

    RF1 is CDMA/3G/LTE scanner port
    RF2 is GSM scanner port.
    GPS port is for external GPS (We dont use gps port, because PCTEL Scanner connect to TEMS and TEMS has got a other GPS)
    USB port is use for connect the scanner to PC
