MOUNTING THE RADIO ANTENNA
Figure 28 shows the standard radio antenna with
magnetic base. Preferably, this standard antenna
should be used. The components of this standard
antenna are shown in Table 6.
A number of specific conditions should be met before
mounting the radio antenna:
Preferably mount the radio antenna with the
magnetic base on the standard GPS antenna
bracket (Figure 24).
Do not mount the radio antenna next to a steel
construction, but above it.
Mount magnetic base on a sufficiently large
steel surface (at least the size of the standard
GPS antenna bracket). A larger steel base
surface can improve signal strength and
prevent problems, especially at greater
distances (> 9 km).
Label the antenna cable inside the cabin with
label ‘Radio’.
