• Antenna reflector
• Feed support tube and feed rods
• Feed horn
• Mounting parts for radio assembly
For details see Description of main components on page 10.
Related components The following are related components that are not part of the
antenna kit:
• Radio assembly (J-type or cradle-type) – See Radio assembly
types on page 15.
• Antenna mount – For general information about antenna
mounts, see
Installing the antenna mount on page 4.
Two antenna kits for two
radio types
You can install the .98 m antenna with either of two radio types,
the J-type radio or cradle-type radio, which are described in
Radio assembly types on page 15.
To support these two radio types, the antenna kit is available in
two configurations, as listed in
Table 1. In this manual, the
antenna kit is used to refer to either kit.
Each antenna kit consists of two boxes of parts, as detailed in
Figure 2. Most parts are common to both antenna kits. The main
parts that are different in the two kits are the feed support tube,
feed rods, and parts used to mount the radio assembly.
Before proceeding, refer to Table 1 and make sure you have the
correct antenna kit.
