Optional DIN Rail Mounting
The unit may be mounted with an optional 35 mm DIN Rail Mounting
Bracket Kit (Part No. 03-4125A04). Equipment cabinets and racks of
modern design often employ this type of mounting. Once the DIN
bracket is attached to the radio, it allows for quick installation and
removal of the radio from its mounting rail without the need for tools.
The DIN Rail bracket attaches to the unit’s case as shown in Figure 14.
The entire assembly then attaches to the mounting rail.

4.3 Antennas and Feedlines
Antennas
The transceiver may be used with a number of different antennas. The
exact style and gain factor depend on the physical size and layout of
your system. Connection is made to the radio via a TNC coaxial con-
nector.
A directional Yagi (Figure 15) or corner reflector antenna is generally
used at remote sites to minimize interference to and from other users.
Antennas of this type are available from several manufacturers,
including GE MDS. Contact your factory representative for details.
