Internal Radio - Radio Antenna

The rover radio requires an antenna to receive transmissions from the base radio.
For the pole-mounted configuration, the radio must be internal to the GPS receiver.
You have the option of connecting the radio antenna directly to the radio antenna port
on the back of the GPS receiver (requiring no cable), or mounting the radio antenna
on the pole and connecting it to the radio antenna port on the GPS receiver via a
coaxial cable (Figure 3.26). The radio antenna cable for the base and rover are not
interchangeable.

Figure 3.26 Pacific Crest Rover Radio Antenna Cable

The radio antenna cable connects to the internal radio via either a TNC or BNC type
connector depending on which type of radio used. If the remote radio is a Pacific
Crest UHF/VHF radio, the connector will be BNC. If the remote is utilizing an Ashtech
SSRadio, the connector will be a TNC with reverse polarity.
