Installation 

Installation Notes 

• 

Mount the antenna outdoors with the supplied wall mount or pole mount 
accessories. Installation indoors or behind windows is not recommended. 
Windowpanes can have tinted coatings that can attenuate the signal. The 
attenuation of these coatings can vary greatly as a function of temperature. 

• 

Use the radio’s signal strength display as a guide to adjust the antenna for 
peak satellite signal reception. 

• 

This antenna kit is designed to drive up to 310 feet of RG-6 cable with no 
signal loss. For longer cable runs, use in-line amplifier(s) SRD-AMP-1 
(purchased separately) to boost the signal. 

• 

Although this antenna can receive signals from terrestrial repeaters, it is 
recommended to always use the satellite signals for primary reception at 
fixed sites. The satellite signals are much more stable and are not affected 
by many uncontrolled variables that can impact reception signal quality 
greatly over time. 

Wall Mounting  

Attach the wall mount assembly to a flat surface. Use the supplied screws to secure 
the mount in the position desired (use of the included anchors requires 5/16” holes).
