The unique omnidirectional characteristics provide excellent reception in areas where stations are in different
directions without the need for a complex rotor system.
A built-in amplifier provides up to 6 times the received
signal on VHF and 9 times the UHF signal insuring the
best possible reception in color and black and white.
The RS-2000 package includes antenna, +12 VDC power
supply with two-way splitter, 30' downlead cable, 6' TV set
cord, hardware and mounting bracket.

ANTENNA MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1. Assemble mounting brackets onto mounting
plate. Insert 10-32 x 5/8" bolts through mounting plate
and mounting brackets. See Figure 1. Attach #10 x 9/16
x 1/6 washers and 10-32 locking nuts. Tighten securely.
FIGURE 1
STEP 2. Place assembled mount on bottom of antenna
housing and thread in 1" nylon bolt. Spin the assembled
mount to tighten securely.
NOTE: Holes for mounting brackets are at corners of
19-5/8" triangle. We recommend you make a template
from 19-5/8" triangular piece of cardboard. Try to
locate holes on roof rafters on other solid members
inside roof. See Figure 5.
FIGURE 2
STEP 3. Attach end of coaxial downlead cable with boot
to jack on bottom of antenna and slide boot up over boot
collar. See Figure 3.
FIGURE 3
STEP 4. Select location for antenna on roof of vehicle.
Try to position antenna about 24" from edge of vehicle
roof, convenient to downlead entry point and as far away
as possible from roof mounted equipment such as air
conditioners or roof vents. See Figure 4.

Apply approved sealant for your type of roof around holes
under each bracket. Attach antenna to roof with #10 x 1"
thread cutting screws.
STEP 6. The power supply/wall outlet assembly may be
flush mounted in most standard electrical boxes. To flush
mount cut a hole in wall to fit the box. Run 2 #12 wires
between wall outlet and +12 VDC source and route
downlead cable to this location. Install cable between set
2 outlet and power supply SET 2 jack at this time.
See Figure 7.
