Fully insert the PL-259 to the balun and tighten the collar. Loop the cable through the ‘P’ clamps
and form approximately a 6” diameter loop of cable.
Mount the ‘P’ clamps on both sides of the bracket using the
hardware (1” bolt, ¼” spacer, 3 star washers, and Nyloc nut) as
shown in
Figure 3
. Using pliers will help hold the clamps and parts
together while you get the Nyloc nut started.
Once the cable is aligned between the balun and the first ‘P’ clamp,
tighten the bolt, star washer, and nut at the balun end of the bracket.
Ensure the cable going through the ‘P’ clamps is properly aligned
and has the loop. Tighten all the parts holding the ‘P’ clamps in
place.
