1. Use the template information provided in Appendix B to create the appropriate hole
pattern in the desired mounting surface for the chosen mounting hardware.
NOTE
Hole sizing and provided hardware are shown for through hole
mounting as shown in Appendix B. User may mount antenna
with other hardware at their discretion and own risk.

BDU can be mounted in any orientation but for best
performance, it is recommended that it is mounted horizontally
