Two antenna kits for two radio types

The following are related components that are not part of the antenna kit:

Radio assembly (J-type or cradle-type) – See Radio assembly types on page 15.

Antenna mount – For general information about antenna mounts, see Installing the antenna mount on page 4.

You can install the .98 m antenna with either of two radio types, the J-type radio or cradle-type radio, which are described in Radio assembly types on page 15.

To support these two radio types, the antenna kit is available in two configurations, as listed in Table 1. In this manual, the antenna kit is used to refer to either kit.

Each antenna kit consists of two boxes of parts, as detailed in Figure 2. Most parts are common to both antenna kits. The main parts that are different in the two kits are the feed support tube, feed rods, and parts used to mount the radio assembly.

Before proceeding, refer to Table 1 and make sure you have the correct antenna kit.
