Ribbon – The ribbon antenna is made from a 3
conductor insulated wire with each conductor being
precisely tuned to a desired frequency. The shortest
conductor is tuned to the Weather-band, the middle
length conductor is tuned to the FM band and the
longest conductor is tuned to the AM band. The ribbon
antenna is located between the headliner and the
SMC roof panel in the area immediately above the
windshield. The metal antenna base is grounded to the
cab with a steel rivet (or screw). The ribbon antenna
should be secured with vinyl tape to the SMC roof at
least 0.1 m (4 in.) away from any metal objects that
may tend to de-tune the antenna.

The ribbon antenna is standard on the VNL 610. The
VNL 610 can also be equipped with the multiplexed
antenna system as an option.
