Mounting the Antenna

NOTE: The mounted antenna must be at least 4 cm (1.57 in.) away from the nearest roll bar or metal surface to avoid radio interference.

You can use the external antenna mount to mount your antenna in a more suitable location for your vehicle, such as a roll bar at the rear of your vehicle, to receive better radio reception. For the best results, use this method for vehicles that have a roll cage.

  1. Screw down and tighten the antenna cable Callout number one onto the Group Ride mount Callout number two.
