Inspecting the antenna parts

The antenna kit for each radio type is shipped in two boxes, as shown in Figure 2. The radio assembly is shipped separately. As soon as possible, unpack and inspect the antenna parts and hardware to make sure all parts have been received in good condition.

Each main part is illustrated in the following sections, and the small hardware parts are listed in Table 2 and Table 3 on page 19. If any parts appear to have been damaged in transit, immediately contact the freight carrier. If any parts appear to be missing or damaged but not as a result of handling in transit, contact your dealer or distributor.
