Mobile Operation
The Z-100A is also perfectly suited to mobile operation. It can be installed under the
dashboard along with the transceiver or mounted remotely. The only requirement is that
the tuner remain dry.
MARS/CAP Coverage
The Z-100A provides continuous coverage over its specified range; not just in the ham
bands. This makes it useful for MARS or CAP operation, or any other legal HF operation.
Important Safety Warning
Never install antennas or transmission lines over or near power lines. You can be seriously
injured or killed if any part of the antenna, support or transmission line touches a power
line. Always follow this antenna safety rule: the distance to the nearest power line should
be at least twice the length of the longest antenna, transmission line or support dimension.
Also be aware of and follow electrical and safety codes of your municipality.
