To obtain optimal radiation efficiency from your antenna, and
optimal reception at your antenna, it must be mounted in a
location that:
• is clear of surrounding body work
• supports a good earth plane
• supports the RF earthing required for correct tuning and
loading
• does not obscure the driver’s vision
• does not obscure number plates or vehicle lights
• does not interfere with engine or car openings
• allows for best radiation (open and clear of all metal
obstructions)
• clears electric power lines, overhanging trees, bridges etc
• does not breach vehicle-licensing regulations
A mounted antenna must have:
• a strong anchorage for the base of the antenna
• a sound electrical connection to the vehicle chassis
