General
The antenna tuner and antenna are critical elements in an HF
communication system. Correct installation of the transmitting
antenna provides efficient operation over the frequency range of
the transceiver. A good installation ensures the antenna tuner
provides optimum output power during transmission and clear
reception of weak signals.
When installing the antenna and tuner you must consider:
• the location and mounting of the antenna
• how to provide a good earth plane for the antenna
• the routing of the coaxial and control cable
• access to connectors
On receiving your antenna, check the contents against the packing
list. Make sure that all equipment itemised on the packing list is
present and that there is no damage to the equipment before you
start installing the system.
If anything is missing or damaged, please contact your nearest
Codan office immediately to obtain the correct warranty service
procedures. This ensures prompt assistance, minimal turnaround
time, and avoids any freight issues.
