• Drywall/Masonry - Drill hole with 1/4 “bit, Insert #10 screw anchor. Then install the #10 wood
screws.
C: Shows the cable connector relative to the antenn. The antenna is shown separated from antenna
mast. In reality, the cable is connected to the antenna and the mast is firmly attached to the antenna.
Do not disconnect the pipe from the antenna assembly. To gain access to the TNC antenna input
connector, untighten the four captive UNC screws that secure the two parts of the antenna.
Figure 1-7: Permanent Antenna Installation
Mast top mounting is the preferred mounting method. Special brackets are provided to mount the
antenna to a pipe or the peak of a building. The antenna mounting mast should be 2-inch (5.08-cm)
water pipe or conduit. The mast must be rigid and able to withstand high winds without flexing. Guy
wires may be used to stabilize a mast longer than 10 ft. (3.048 m).
