What are the exact dimensions of this unit? I would like to mount this in my semi truck on my rack with my CB radios that are approximately 7 3/4" w.

the basic unit is 7-3/8" wide, 5-1/4" deep and 2" thick, if you add on the mounting bracket with thumb screws its 8-7/8" wide, with the enclosed at unit measures 6-5/8 deep. Hope this helps you. Safe trucking, REACT LM 131.

do you have to use a computer? My husband wants a scanner to hear local fire, police,etc reports. Will this one do it?

No computer necessary. You can receive digital and analog signals for all fire and police, etc. it is also portable you can take it with you. A bit hard to program, but worth it.

I have noticed most people program with a pc. will i be able to program with ios (apple) computer?

Dont see why you couldn't. You really dont have to use a computer thats only if you want even more channels. I have all my local channels, and then some and i haven't programmed it from computer. I got codes online

what type of connector for the antenna is on the back ?

The antenna connector is a BNC type.
