Feed support tube and The radio assembly mounts onto the feed support tube (Figure 5). feed rods The feed rods (Figure 6) attach to the reflector and support the

feed support tube.

Each of the two antenna kits contains one feed support tube and two feed rods, for the radio type supported by the specific antenna kit. Figure 5 shows both types of feed support tubes for the two radio types. The feed support tube for the cradle-type radio is stamped TG. Other letters or numbers may appear with TG.
