INSTALLATION
Carefully remove the MN-2700 from the shipping
carton and examine it for evidence of damage. If any
damage is discovered, immediately notify the
transportation company that delivered the unit. Be
sure to keep the shipping carton and packing
material for the transportation company to examine
if there is a damage claim. Keeping these items is
recommended in any case, since having them
available makes shipment of the unit much easier
should it ever be necessary to return it to the factory

the matching network should be the last item the
out-going RF signal passes through before entering
the
feedline to the antenna. The effects of this on
receiver operation will be discussed
