INSTALLATION

FCC Information:

The antenna must me located at least 3' away from passengers in order to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements.

The antenna should be mounted as high as possible for best performance. Keep the antenna

away from large metal objects and other radiating devices like RADAR and other antennas.

The A-860 VHF Antenna is supplied with 20 feet of RG-58 C/U Milspec double-shielded

cable for maximum radiation and interference rejection. KJM does not recommend shortening

the 20' cable; instead simply coil and tie-wrap the excess cable in a secure location. The

cable may be extended using a PL-258 barrel connector between the antenna PL-259 and

the additional coax cable PL-259. KJM recommends using RG-8X or RX213/U to extend the

length.
