Figure 45 shows the standard radio antenna with
magnetic base. Preferably, this standard antenna
should be used. The components of this standard

Symbol Description
1 Radio antenna
2 Antenna cable
3 Magnetic base
A number of specific conditions should be met before
mounting the radio antenna:
Preferably mount the radio antenna with the

magnetic base on the standard GPS antenna
bracket (Figure 41).
Do not mount the radio antenna next to a steel

construction, but above it.
Mount magnetic base on a sufficiently large

steel surface (at least the size of the standard
GPS antenna bracket). A larger steel base
surface can improve signal strength and
prevent problems, especially at greater
distances (> 9 km).
Label the antenna cable inside the cabin with

label 'Radio'.
