Prepare the Antenna
6
Follow these steps to remove the service hatch
and radome. They must be removed before you
can wire and mount the antenna.
a. Remove the eleven M4 screws securing the
service hatch to the antenna's baseplate (see
Figure 16). Set the hatch aside in a safe place.
b. Remove and save the two #10-32 Phillips
screws securing the radome to the baseplate.
(The six other radome screws are in the kitpack.
You will use these later when you reinstall the
radome.) Carefully lift the radome straight up
until clear of the antenna assembly and set it
aside in a safe place (see Figure 17).
TIP: If you keep the radome topside, secure it with
a lanyard to prevent it from falling overboard.
