Орнотуу жана орнотуу
The Comet SBB-15 antenna requires a standard PL-style mobile antenna mount (sold separately) for installation. Proper mounting and grounding are crucial for optimal performance and safety.
- Монтаждоо жери: Select a mounting location on your vehicle that provides a clear line of sight and a good ground plane. Common locations include the trunk lid, fender, or roof. Ensure the mount is securely fastened to the vehicle's metal body for effective grounding.
- Кабель багыттоо: Route the coaxial cable from the antenna mount to your radio, ensuring it is protected from sharp edges, heat, and moisture. Avoid kinking or excessively bending the cable.
- Антенна монтажы: Securely attach the SBB-15 antenna to the PL-style mount. Ensure the PL-259 connector is tightened properly to prevent signal loss and moisture ingress.
- SWR тюнинг: After installation, it is essential to check and tune the antenna's Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) using an SWR meter. While the SBB-15 is designed for broad frequency coverage, minor adjustments may be necessary to achieve an SWR of less than 1.5:1 across your desired operating frequencies. Refer to your radio's manual for specific SWR tuning procedures.
