Antennas
Radio/Antenna Identification
An information label is attached
to the back of your radio (chassis),
just under the battery contacts. A
radio model number is identified on
this label. A typical model number
might be H01KDH9PA3AN. The
fourth position of the model number
(in this case “K”) identifies the
Radio Operating-Frequency Chart
Fourth-Position Frequency
Character Band
K 136 - 178 MHz
R 403 - 470 MHz
S 450 - 512 MHz
Antennas are frequency sensitive and are color coded according to the
frequency range of the antenna. The color code indicator is the insulator in the
center of the base of the antenna. The following illustrations and chart will help
identify the antenna, antenna frequency range, and corresponding color code.
Refer to the Radio Operating-Frequency Chart and the Antenna Identification
Chart on this page to ensure that the match between your radio and antenna is
correct.
Antenna Installation
Screw the threaded end of the antenna into the antenna receptacle located on
top of the radio. Rotate the antenna clockwise until it fits firmly against the bushing.
