TECH TIP:
This antenna will
read "open circuit" when tested
with an ohm meter or continuity
tester. For installations where
the cable exits through the
bottom center of the antenna's
ferrule, replace the grommet at
the exit hole in the ferrule with
the supplied Grommet Plug.
Remove grommet plug if cable
is to exit through the side.
