AttachtheantennabasetoyourmastasshowninFigureN.Firstattach
themountingplate(4079)withU-bolts(404),aluminumV-blocks(63),and
nut(389)totheantennabase. Thebottomoftheplateshouldshouldbe
evenwiththebottomoftheantennatoleaveroomfortheradialclamping
system. Affix danger label (326) to the antenna sothatit is easy to see.
Whenattaching mounting platetothemastusethe(405)U-bolts,mast
clamps(726),andnut(389).

#12-FEEDLINE
TheR9isdesignedforusewith50Ohmcoaxialcableterminatedwitha
PL-259connector. Theshortestlengthofcablewillhavetheleastloss.
A connectorbootisincludedforusewithyournewantenna(figureO).
SlidethebootoverthecablebeforeattachingyourPL-259.Coatonlythe
outsideconnectorthreadsandshellwithsiliconegrease.Donotcoatthe
centerpinorreceptacle. AfterthePL-259isfirmlyscrewedontothe
antennaconnector,slidethevinylbootovertheconnectorandagainstthe
connectorbracketforagoodweather-tightconnection. Aftertheantenna
isonthemast,tapethefeedlinetothemast. Ifyouplantoinstallthe
antennainasaltyorcorrosiveenvironment,youmaywanttoconsider
coatingitwithaclearmarinevarnishorequivalentafteritisassembled.
