Installing the antenna
20 Automatic Whip Antenna 3040 Installation Handbook
1 Test the installed antenna (with connected transceiver) as
described in the documentation provided with your
transceiver.
WARNING
Do not exert greater than 25 Nm (18 lb-ft)
on the stud. Tighten the whip using a
spanner with one hand positioned as close
as possible to the antenna to minimise any
mechanical advantage.
NOTE
If the length of the antenna is changed, for
example, removal of the riser or addition of
the NVIS kit, Codan recommends that you
manually tune the antenna (press 1) on
each frequency you want to use. This sets
the optimum tuning point in the memory of
the tuner.
NOTE
Troubleshooting for an antenna and how to
install a transceiver are provided in the
Reference or Operator Manual.
