Antenna and Cables
24.1
Standard Mobile Antenna
The MLC is supplied with a simple mag-mount whip antenna
(Figure 15): Aviator-2 WSM-225)
For installations with good signal strength this all that is
required.
If an extension cable is required, the use of RG58 cable is
recommended.
24.2 High Gain Antenna
If a higher gain antenna is required. A pole mounted air-band
antenna (example Figure 16): Diamond D-777.
This should be specified and installed by an experienced
antenna installer.
You are strongly recommended to fit a Static Surge Protector
into the down-feed (example: SP-350V).
A typical installation would need:
1) 1 off antenna type e.g. D-777
2) 1 off antenna mounting bracket
3) 1 off Static Surge Protector e.g. type SP-350V
4) 1 off link cable (between antenna and SP-350V) fitted
with PL-259 plugs each end
5) 50ohm down-cable (length/type to suit installation
– see
over)
6) 1 off PL-259 plug to connect to SP-350V, and
7) SMA Plug to connect to the MLC (which may require the
use of a reducing adaptor if RG213 cable is used).
