Most recommended SUV installa-
tion scenarios use a Universal Gibbet
Mounting System (front) or the Spare
Wheel Antenna Bracket (rear). Note
the upper 2/3rd of the Antenna Main
Assembly is kept clear of the vehicle’s
hood and other metal panels. Best
communications in all directions is en-
sured.
Recommended installation options on
typical pickup vehicle using a Univer-
sal Gibbet Mounting System (front)
and a customer provided bracket
(middle). Both methods provide effec-
tive communications in all directions.
Recommended installation options
on a typical sedan vehicle use a
Universal Gibbet Mounting System
for both front and rear antenna lo-
cations. Note the upper 2/3rd of the
Antenna Main Assembly is optimally
raised above the trunk and hood of
the vehicle.
NON-RECOMMENDED installation
methods using a Universal Gibbet
Mounting System (both at the rear)
shown on a typical minivan or 4WD
vehicles. Note the entire Antenna
Main Assembly and partially Whip
Section are OBSTRUCTED by ve-
hicle metal panels. Communica-
tions will be affected.
For best communications, position the an-
tenna as high as possible. Please use a
Level Mark triangle as a reference when
selecting a Universal Gibbet Raiser. The
picture to the left indicates the preferred
option selection. The picture to the right
indicates an antenna installation that uses
the optional NVIS-kit, for best communica-
tions on the 30–300km short ranges, and
up to 1500 km medium ranges. Note, with
the NVIS-kit installed, the antenna upper
tuning range will be limited to 16 MHz.
