BARRETT PRC-4090 TACTICAL HF SDR TRANSCEIVER - INSTALLATION
Mounting the Barrett 2019 Automatic Tuning Mobile HF Antenna
The Barrett 2019 antenna should be mounted in positions similar to those illus-
trated in the diagrams on the following pages. Select a position free from exces-
sive vibration. A bracket, fabricated to withstand the forces and vibration that
can be expected during off-road driving, should be used to mount the antenna
to the vehicle. When locating the mounting position for the antenna ensure
that the antenna body, when flexing on its vibration mount, cannot come into
contact with other parts of the vehicle. The antenna should be mounted as far
from surrounding objects on the vehicle as possible.
The antenna is supplied standard with two sections (Barrett P/N: BCA201901),
a tapered black spring (Barrett P/N: BCA201903), an antenna installation guide
and a pre-terminated six metre control cable to suit the Barrett 2019 antenna
to transceiver. A six metre (Barrett P/N: BCA201904) or ten metre (Barrett P/N:
BCA201905) extension cable for the control cable is also available.
The control cable should be routed into either the engine compartment or boot
(trunk) of the vehicle. If the joint between the antenna control cable and the
extension cable is in an exposed position, a self-amalgamating/self-bonding
tape should be used to seal the joint. Do not wrap this joint if it cannot be made
completely water tight as water will collect in the joint and cause it to corrode.
A good ground (earth) to the main body of the vehicle is essential for
efficient operation of the antenna.
To achieve this, clean all joints to bare
metal and use copper braid ground (earth) straps if any non-metallic joints are
encountered.
After mounting the main body of the antenna, screw the black base spring onto
the antenna body followed by the whip section.
Important Information
It is ESSENTIAL to maintain the minimum clearances between the
antenna and surrounding metal work as indicated in the diagrams.
FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THESE CLEARANCES WILL NOT ONLY REDUCE
THE EFFICIENCY OF THE BARRETT 2019 AUTOMATIC TUNING MOBILE HF
ANTENNA BUT MAY ALSO LEAD TO INTERNAL RF ARCING AND FAILURE.
