INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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 4352 10’ Extension Cable
Kit (sold separately).
HOW TO MOUNT THE ANTENNA TO A DECK OR BULK-
HEAD, USING A MARINE MOUNT
This antenna can be mounted self supporting only if
you are using the recommended Shakespeare 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 SECTIONS 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:
1. Feed the coax through the slot in the side of the thread
adapter or through its bottom.
2. Attach the Type “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
1. Route the coaxial cable to your radio, keeping it as far
as possible from other electrical equipment and cables.
2. Connect the Motorola type plug to your radio’s
antenna port
