Mobile 1/4-Wave Antennas Installation
NOTE
The coaxial cable will normally not be
harmed by opening and closing the
trunk, although reasonable care should
be exercised. The rubber molding around
the trunk lid will prevent damage to the
cable.
5. Route the cable from the mounting base to the
radio set. Rubber grommets should be used in
any sheet metal holes through which the cable
is routed. Ensure that the cable will not be
pinched during normal vehicle operation.
Mini-UHF Connector Installation
Use Motorola hand tool part #66-80388A26 (Refer to
Figure 12). A deluxe rachet type tool is available; order
part #66-80334B40.

3. Insert stripped cable into plug body until con-
ductor is exposed (front end) and dielectric
bottoms inside body. Refer to Figure 13.
4. Crimp center contact using proper crimp
section of tool. Refer to Figure 12 marked
