Trunk lip mounts are availabe from High Sierra Antennas. Please call for information.
Comet and Diamond trunk lip mounts will work when the mount is properly grounded.
In addition to planning where you will mount the antenna, also consider how the cables will be
routed. Be especially careful to keep cables and wires away from exhaust pipes, catalytic
converters, other bundles of wires and
computers.
Another location consideration is the overall
height of the antenna system. You risk hitting
bridges and over-passes when the antenna
height exceeds 13 feet/4m. There are safety
considerations as well.
You are responsible
for antenna safety
.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
•
You are responsible for safety, safety, safety and more safety
.
•
The ground strap should be less than three feet.
•
Keep the total antenna height less than 13 feet above the ground.
•
Use at least 15 feet of coax between the antenna and the transceiver.
•
Some experimenting may be needed.
•
Don’t drive while tuning!! It’s just not worth it.
Note: Your
number one
concern with

is safety.
Use extreme
care
