WHERE TO MOUNT THE ANTENNA
Center roof top mounting is recommended for best performance on cars, vans or trucks with metal tops.
For most center roof top installations, the underside of the mounting surface will be exposed by removing
the interior dome light, be sure mounting surface is a single thickness of sheet metal. This antenna may
also be mounted on any flat, horizontal, metallic surface.
The use of PTFE or similar lubricant on the threaded portions and O-Rings of the antenna, prior to assembly, will protect from weather and ease future disassembly
