This antenna is designed for use with 50 Ohm coaxial cable terminated with a PL-259 connector. Any length of feedline can be used with
your A144-11. The shortest length of cable will have the least loss. A connector boot is included for use with your new antenna. Slide
the boot over the cable before attaching your PL-259 (figure F). Spread silicone on the outer threads of the Reddi-Match and PL-259
connector. DO NOT COAT THE CENTER PINS OF THE PL-259. Attach the connector to the Reddi-Match. Apply the remaining silicone
to the outside of the connector. Slip the vinyl boot over the connector and against the mast bracket for a weather tight connection.
