INSTALLATION OF THE ANTENNA MOUNT

When you are satisfied that your solder connections are “just right”, we will install the PVC antenna mast coupler included with the kit. The mast mounting is a 1” PVC coupler. We recommend that you glue the coupling into place with some RTV or contact cement. Be sure to fit the coupler firmly into place after threading the cable assembly through it. If the glue sets up with the coupling in a little tilted, you will forever see a slightly “off balance” discone.

IMPORTANT NOTE CONCERNING OUTDOOR USAGE

Many of the metal components contained in your discone antenna will oxidize and rust if left exposed to direct weather. It is recommended that if you are planning on permanently mounting the antenna outdoors you coat the entire unit with an enamel paint before installing.
