ATTACHING THE MOUNT

The mount uses the same 

connection system as the rest of 

the antenna but the brackets only 

have one set of holes. This lets you 

attach the mount anywhere on 

the antenna for proper balancing.

Start by loosening the wingnuts 

so the bracket can fit around the 

antenna. 

Slide the brackets over the 

antenna and tighten the wingnut. 

The plastic cable clip should be 

toward the back.

T

he finished mount looks like the 

image at bottom.
