#4 - CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY

This antenna is designed for use with 50 Ohm coaxial cable terminated with a PL-259 connector.  Any length of feedline can be used with
your A449-6S.  The shortest length of cable will have the least loss.  A connector boot is included for use with your new antenna.  Slide
the boot over the cable before attaching your PL-259 (figure E).  Spread silicone on the outer threads of the Reddi-Match connector and
PL-259 connector.  DO NOT COAT THE CENTER PIN OF THE PL-259.  Attach the connector to the Reddi-Match.  Apply the remaining
silicone to the outside of the connector.  Slip the vinyl boot over the connector and against the connector bracket for a weather tight
connection.
