2.
Insure that the high voltage wire protruding from your antenna system
is not routed near any metallic objects such as your vehicleÕs frame or metal
posts. This wire is part of the flexible insulator of your QMS system.
3.
Insure that the ground braid is attached to a good vehicle ground sys-
tem. Do not run ground currents through any hinges. Be sure to make the
ground braid as short as possible. Remove all paint and rust from your ground-
ing area. Remember, your ground system is one half of your antenna system.
4.
Locate the control wire to the QMS, from the transceiver/radio, away
from any other wiring inside your vehicle. This control wire contains a high
power RF coax cable which can radiate into other wires (such as your head-to-
transceiver control cables) causing feedback in your transceiver.
5.
The webbing, buckles, and hooks of your QMS have a rating of 1,000
pounds. Ensure that the hooks are attached to a suitable structure, such as a
trunk lid, or something that will not cave in when the straps are pulled tightly
to secure the unit.
6.
When locating the gutter clip (which secures your SG-303 antenna
when not in use), mount the unit in a location where the tip of the SG-303
antenna is easily accessible for threading through the ÒOÓ ring. Failure to
thread the SG-303 antenna could result in damage both to the antenna and to
your vehicle.
7.
When the QMS system is securely fastened to your vehicle, route the
control cable to your transceiver. Any 150 watt PEP, 50
½
transceiver may be
used. The control cable consists of four wires: one RG-58 coax cable and three
small wires (for connections, refer to the SGC coupler manual).
8.
Refer to QMS system illustration for dimensions and mounting details.
When you are confident that items 1 through 8 have been thoroughly
checked, you are ready to install the tip of the SG-303 antenna. Be sure to
secure all items with the appropriate tool and to read all product manuals prior
to installation or operation.

In no case should the operator use fewer than the four
straps provided to secure the unit. The suction cups
alone will not provide sufficient mounting for the QMS.
