MOUNTING
The function of all antennas is to receive and send out signals to the radio
Your antenna needs to be mounted in a location that considers:
SAFETY
The antenna needs to be mounted to allow for clear visibility for
the driver of the vehicle.
ELEVATION
The antenna will always perform better when mounted on the
bullbar top, in a clear and elevated position.
CLEARANCE
Consider the height of the antenna, and the clearance you will
need to allow for when operating the vehicle.
MOUNTING
GME provides a wide range of mounting hardware to suit various
antenna types. Consult with your GME re-seller for selection of the
correct mounting hardware.
MOUNTING
Usually, mounting space on a vehicle is limited so try and aim for a
mounting separation of no less than 350 mm between two vertical
antennas.
CABLING
Coaxial cable is the ‘electrical pipe’ that carries the outgoing and incoming signals
between the radio and the antenna. The cable needs to retain its coaxial shape,
then it will deliver consistence performance when installed correctly.
IMPORTANT ADVICE
CONNECTING
1. Remove collar from plug and slide over cable (ensure correct orientation).
2. Cut away black outer layer of cable. Cut a small black section (approx. 2 mm)
off the end and put aside for later (step 5).

HARDWARE
PROXIMITY
• AVOID stretching pulling or placing
the cable under strain or tension so
that it could tear.
• AVOID sharp bends. A minimum bend
radius of 30 mm is recommended for
90 degree bends.
• DO NOT route cable near hot pipes,
moving objects or where water will
congregate.
• DO NOT over tighten cable ties.
Excessive force will crush the cable
and reduce performance.
• ALWAYS leave some slack in the
cable in case you need to re-terminate
the connector.
