Application Guide

For packs with side
MOLLE-PALS straps
Tie the top of the rod to
the point where the
shoulder strap cinch
strap meets the top of the
pack.
Secure the rod with cinch straps, cord, cable
ties, or duck tape. 2 Extension Rods are
supplied in the package.
But, for most ruggedized applications,
a single ER1 Extension Rod is optimum, and
sufficient for HF operation.
Through the top hydration tube slot or zipper
opening at the top of the backpack.
Place the UM1 or UM2 SuperMount
inside the backpack, and screw the
bottom of the ER1 Extension Rod into
the mount fitting. With a screwdriver or
tool, loosen the swivel mount angle
screws and adjust the angle to provide a
good footing for the mount plate inside
the pack.
Secure the rod to the top handle of the
backpack. This is the spot where the most
force will be encountered while in motion, so
make this attachment as secure and strong as
possible.
Insert a single provided ER1 Extension Rod
Soft items such as clothing may be
placed around the mount with heavier
items surrounding it, to hold the mount
in place in the pack.
The rod and mount may
be slotted through the
side straps.
Attach coaxial cable to
mount and radio.
Attach drag wire
counterpoise to the
mount connection.
Draw out a single wire of
the counterpoise and let
it dangle. Use the
shortest wire for higher
frequencies.
Roll the remaining counterpoise wires
up, and stow them in a pocket of the
pack.
