The corner of the radio has a little slot for sliding the little plastic scope that comes with it into (for 1' antennas). To be honest I haven't even used that in years. Just peak to the signal. I don't know what the WB clamp/scope setup looks like but the radio is flat and the clamp might be able to clamp across the radio.
