6235
AM/FM
The Style 6235 is a Phase III®series, 530-16400 KHz and 88-108 MHz
AM/FM Entertainment Band antenna with stainless steel ferrules and a female “N”
connector. The antenna is 8.5’ overall length, including the 1”-14 thread adapter.
The design of the Phase III antenna series facilitates mounting to a mast or
attachment to a standard marine mount.
Select a location for the antenna.
Choose a location that is as high as feasible, as free as practical from
obstructions, and as far as possible from other antennas and strong
sources of RF. This antenna is supplied with 20’ of RG-62 coax cable, which
can be lengthened if necessary by using appropriate extension cables such as
Shakespeare Style 4352 10’ Extension Cable Kit (sold separately).
How to mount the antenna to a deck or bulkhead, using a marine mount
This antenna can be mounted self supporting only if you are using the
recommended Shakespeare Style 4187-HD stainless steel ratchet mount (sold
separately). Use the 1”-14 thread adapter (supplied) to attach the antenna to the
mount. The slot in the side of the thread adapter will accommodate up to RG-213
size coax cable.
Assemble the antenna to the mount as follows:
1. Bolt the mount to the deck or bulkhead according to the directions included with
the mount you choose. Be sure to heed any cautions, included with the antenna
mount, regarding drilling fiberglass surfaces.
2. Thread the 1”-14 thread adapter onto the mount and hand tighten.
3. Feed the coax through the slot in the side of the thread adapter or through the
bottom and through the hole in your antenna mount, if one is provided.
4. Attach the “N” connector on the included coax cable to the base of the antenna
and tighten it securely. Note: Use only the supplied RG-62 cable.
5. Place the rubber O-ring in the groove on the antenna ferrule.
6. Seat the antenna ferrule on top of the 1”-14 thread adapter and tighten the
coupling ring securely. The adapter has special facets to prevent the antenna
from rotating once the coupling ring has been tightened.
How to mount the antenna to a mast
To mount the antenna to a mast:
1. Feed the coax through the slot in the side of the thread adapter or through its
bottom.
2. Attach the “N” connector on the included coax cable to the base of the antenna
and tighten securely.
3. Strap the thread adapter to the mast
using stainless steel U-bolts, a mast
mounting device, or strapping and
appropriate hardware (not supplied).
4. Place the rubber O-ring in the groove
on the antenna ferrule.
5. Seat the antenna ferrule on top of
the thread adapter and tighten the
coupling ring securely. The adapter has
special facets to prevent the antenna
from rotating once the coupling ring
has been tightened.
Completing the installation
