Page 12: Antenna And Cable
ANTENNA AND CABLE Radio performance relies greatly on the antenna and antenna cable! Before operating, install an efficient well-tuned antenna and a high-quality antenna cable. Failure to do so will reduce transmit and receive range, radio call clarity, and can damage the radio. -
Page 13: Installing The Antenna
INSTALLING THE ANTENNA For vehicle-mounting, the best place for an antenna is the center of a metal roof. Note that If your specific vehicle configuration, accessories, or intended use do not allow this, radio range may decrease. For the best range, only the Rugged Radios GMRS POINT5 antenna should be used. Specific installation requirements vary between vehicles. -
