FIGURE G
#6 - FEEDLINE
Tape your feedline down the mast (figure G). Any
length of feedline can be used with your A270-6S. The
shortest length cable will have the least loss. Before
installing your connector, slide boot (115) over your
feedline. Now, coat the outer threads of the T-
connector with silicone grease (116). Do not coat
center pin. Thread PL-259 connector onto T-connec-
tor. Apply silicone grease over outside shell of PL-
259. Slide boot over PL-259 until it butts against the
T-connector for a waterproof seal.
