mounted antenna.
For installation of a remotely mounted antenna follow the antenna manufacturer’s instructions and
connect the antenna to the AirHarmony-1000 using the appropriate cables. (Weather-proofed N-type
Heliax RF cables (ordered separately).

factory pre-assembled with a sunshield.
To
mount
the
front
antenna,
