• Keep the antenna cable away from noise sources, such as the ignition switch,
gauges, etc
• Make sure you have a solid metal-to-metal ground connection
• Prevent cable damage during antenna installation
Attention: To prevent damage, never operate your radio without connecting a proper
antenna. A periodical control of the cable and of the S.W.R. is recommended.
