Attach the antenna base to your mast as shown in Figure N. First attach
the mounting plate (4079) with U-bolts (404), aluminum V-blocks (63), and
nut (389) to the antenna base. The bottom of the plate should should be
even with the bottom of the antenna to leave room for the radial clamping
system. Affix danger label (326) to the antenna so that it is easy to see.
When attaching
mounting plate to the mast use the (405) U-bolts, mast
clamps (726), and nut (389).

#12 - FEEDLINE
The R9 is designed for use with 50 Ohm coaxial cable terminated with a
PL-259 connector. The shortest length of cable will have the least loss.
A connector boot is included for use with your new antenna (figure O).
Slide the boot over the cable before attaching your PL-259. Coat only the
outside connector threads and shell with silicone grease. Do not coat the
center pin or receptacle. After the PL-259 is firmly screwed onto the
antenna connector, slide the vinyl boot over the connector and against the
connector bracket for a good weather-tight connection. After the antenna
is on the mast, tape the feedline to the mast.
If you plan to install the
antenna in a salty or corrosive environment, you may want to consider
coating it with a clear marine varnish or equivalent after it is assembled.
