Note: When connecting an optional antenna, always
use 50-ohm coaxial cable such as RG-58. For
lengths over 50 feet, use low-loss RG-8 coaxial ca-
ble. When the cable terminates in a PL-259 connec-
tor, obtain an adapter to fit the BNC connector.
Follow the installation instructions supplied with the
antenna, route the antenna cable to the TRC-239,
then connect it to the antenna jack.
Cautions:
• Do not run the cable over sharp edges or mov-
ing parts.
• Do not run the cable next to power cables or
other CB antenna cables.
• Do not run the cable through a vehicle's engine
compartment or other areas that produce
extreme heat.
• Follow all cautions and warnings included with
the antenna.
Warning: When installing or removing a base station
CB antenna, use extreme caution. If the antenna
starts to fall, let it go! It could contact overhead power
lines. If the antenna touches the power line, contact
with the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can
cause electrocution and death! Call the power com-
pany to remove the antenna. DO NOT attempt to do
so yourself.
