MM-014763-001, Rev. G (3/16-inch maximum thickness). AN-125001-004 has a very-low-loss coax cable (LMR/RF-195 or equivalent). For thick-roof NMO antenna mounts AN-125001-003 or AN-125001-004, using a ⅜-inch mounting hole will require better access to the underside of the mounting location than if a ¾-inch hole is used. This is because, in the case of a ⅜ -inch hole, the antenna mount’s bushing assembly must be inserted from the underside of the mounting surface.
MM-014763-001, Rev. G 8. For a ¾-inch hole, feed the unterminated end of the mount’s coax cable into the hole from the top surface of the vehicle until the mount’s bushing assembly is in position to drop into the hole. The bushing should be tilted at a slight angle and fed into the hole. The threaded shank of the mount’s bushing assembly will not fall through a ¾-inch hole. For a ⅜ -inch hole, feed the threaded shank of the mount’s bushing assembly into the hole from the underside of the mounting surface.
