the two mounting brackets, and the four hex nuts. Keep in mind that the antenna
cable is routed under the lower U-bolt, in the slot provided in the antenna base as
shown.
Slide one of the U-bolts through the holes at the top of the mounting bracket. Then
slide one of the mounting brackets over the two legs of the U-bolt.
Next, screw the hex nuts on each leg until they are snug. Do not yet tighten the
hex nuts beyond finger tight. Repeat this procedure with the other U-bolt. When
all the hex nuts are snug, verify that the antenna is facing the correct direction
and begin tightening each hex nut with a 3/8” wrench. Turn each hex nut one-half
turn and then move to the next hex nut repeating this one-half turn pattern until all
the hex nuts are equally tight. Tighten the hex nuts enough so that the antenna is
secured to the mast or pole, but do not overtighten them. Now proceed to the next
section titled,
Antenna Adjustment.
Antenna Adjustment
There are two types of adjustments that are possible on the antenna: the antenna
pod itself and the antenna support arm.
