FEEDLINE
We
have
provided
a
weatherproof
boot
for
the
PL-259
connector
on
your
feedline.
Follow
figure
3
to
install
it.
Insert
the
antenna
end
of
your
coax
through
the
small
end
of
your
connector
beot.
Many
cables
are
very
tight
which
results
in
an
excellent
weather
seal.
Attach
a
PL-259
to
the
end
of
your
coax.
Spread
the
silicone
on
the
threads
of
the
antenna
connector.
SILICONE
SHOULD
NOT
BE
SPREAD
ON
THE
CENTER
PIN!
Apply
the
remaining
silicone
to
the
outside
of
the
connector.
Attach
the
connector
to
the
matching
network
and
slip
the
boot
over
the
connector
until
it
touches
the
bracket.
