Step 4: Route Antenna LMR 400 Coaxial Cable

How to route the LMR 400 coaxial cable from the Transmitter to the antenna
1. Drill a 1 inch (2.54 cm) hole through an exterior wall of the building that is in close proximity to the antenna installation
location.
2. Roll out the LMR 400 cable to prevent kinks from developing during routing.
3. Route the LMR 400 cable female connector from the Transmitter installation area to the outside installation location of the
antenna, leaving enough cable for two 1 ft. (0.30 m) diameter coils at the base of the antenna mast.
4. Form and secure two 1 ft. diameter (305 mm) loops in the LMR 400 cable at the base of the mast for lightning protection.
5. Connect the LMR 400 cable to the antenna.
