Installation

The LX-mount is especially suited for roof-mounting. It is recommended to mount the antenna at the centre of the roof to ensure the best omnidirectional coverage. Mounting can take place in an 18 mm dia. hole with access from the outside only. When cleaning the car in car-washing machines, the whip should be removed – a 9 mm fork spanner can be used. After wash, the whip is refitted and tightened lightly with the spanner.

The mount is equipped with a bendable section (±15°) to make it possible to adjust the antenna to an upright position.

PLEASE NOTE:

3. Tuning / Model Conversion

The antenna should always be tuned using an VSWR-meter.
