Installation
4.
Refer to Figure 5. From the top, feed the
RG-58A/U lead-in cable between the headlining and the metal roof. Then route the cable
between the roof and the radio set.
5.
Refer to Figure 6. The bushing assembly is
now in a position to drop into the hole in the
roof. It should be tilted at a slight angle and
fed into the 3/4-inch hold. The threaded top
will not fall through the hole.
6.
Refer to Figure 7. Hold the antenna bushing
assembly in place with the index finger and
thread the locking nut onto it as shown.
7.
Pull up on the bushing assembly as illustrated
in Figure 8, and make sure it is centered and
seated (both shoulders inside the drilled hole),
and that the "O" ring is in the groove in the
locking nut. (As furnished, the "O" ring has
been placed in the locking nut groove and
imbedded in silicone grease.) Use a
15/16-inch open-end wrench to tighten the
locking nut until it bottoms firmly against the
roof top.
Mounting Hardware Installation – Roof
Mount
General
The installation procedure which follows is for a typical passenger car. The procedure may vary slightly
with the type of vehicle on which the antenna is to be
installed. Generally speaking, however, the procedures
outlined are of a universal nature.
NOTE
The antenna should be mounted on a flat
metal roof of .020 to .040 inch thickness.
1.
First, select a location for the antenna as near
the center of the roof as possible.
2.
The headlining may be probed with the fingers to make sure that all points of obstruction
are avoided.
Installation Procedure Single Wall Construction
1.
2.
Locate the center of the roof by careful measurement, remove the headlining as necessary,
and drill a pilot hole down through the roof. If
the interior light of the car is centered in the
roof, remove this light and fixture and drill
the pilot hole up through the roof at about the
center of the interior light mountings. This
centers the antenna mount on the roof and
allows for easy access.
Drill a 3/4-inch hole from the top of the roof
until the saw bottoms. Use a Motorola hole
cutting saw (01-80382A25) or equivalent.
When the saw bottoms on the roof, it cleans
off the paint in a neat circle and assures good
contact with the locking nut.
IMPORTANT
For proper seating of brushing assembly,
remove burrs and scrape any foreign
matter from underside of hole out to at
least 1/8-inch from edge.
3.
Determine the routing of the cable from the
antenna mounting base to the radio set; then
remove the molding and trim necessary to
facilitate pulling the cable through.
NOTE
To ensure ease of assembly, thread the
locking nut on and then off the bushing
assembly befo re in stallatio n. Th is

IMPORTANT
Refer to Figure 3. If the bushing assembly
should slip or rotate for any reason during the tightening procedure, insert the
tips of a long nose plier or spanner
wrench into the two holes in the bushing
assembly and apply force to prevent
rotation until the locking nut is tight.
The locking nut must come into contact with the car
roof to insure the proper antenna radiation pattern.
This can only happen when the rubber "O" ring is fully
compressed.

1.
Remove the dome light from its mount or
remove the headlining from the installation
area.
2.
Drill a small pilot hole centered in the roof of
the vehicle. The center of the cavity where the
dome light was removed is sufficiently close.

NOTE
Not recommended for transmitters with
power outputs of 7 W or greater.
Vehicles Without Dome Lights
When the vehicle has no dome light, and it is not feasible to remove the headlining to get to the inside surface, proceed as follows:
1.
Locate the center of the roof and make sure
the area beneath this point is clear to allow
passage of a drill.
2.
With a 3/4-inch diameter hole cutting saw
carefully cut a 3/4-inch hole from the top of
the roof through both thicknesses of metal.
Clean the metal in a neat circle around the
hole to assure a good contact between the roof
metal and the locking nut.
3.
Remove any burrs and remove the filler separating the roof thickness for a distance of
1/4-inch back from the hole.
Install the mount to the outside roof thickness
per installation procedure given for vehicles
with single wall construction.
1.
Refer to Figure 11 for antenna location.
2.
Using the Allen wrench supplied, turn the
two set screws counterclockwise until their
threads are not visible on the underside of the
clamp bracket.
3.
Raise the trunk lid to pass the coaxial cable
through; then tilt the mounting base slightly
to hook the clamp bracket on the trunk lip.
The coaxial cable, coming from under the
mounting base, may have to be bent down to
accomplish this step. When the base is in position, the coaxial cable should not bind in any
way, or be pinched under a set screw.
4.
Tighten the two set screws.

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.

Frequency Conversion
Mobile 1/4-Wave Antennas
(roof mount models only; see Figure 3) to provide for
proper impedance matching. Should it be desired to
change from an antenna in the 136-150.8 MHz range to
one in the other ranges, this washer must be removed
in addition to changing the whip assembly. Conversely, to shift from the other ranges to the 136150.8 MHz range, a spring washer must be installed in
addition to changing the whip assembly.
Plug Assembly Procedure
Motorola Recommendations for
Mobile Antenna Location
Recommended mobile antenna installations are limited to metal body vehicles at the center of the roof and
center of the trunk deck locations. Refer to Table 2.
The antenna installation must additionally be in accordance with:
• the requirements of the antenna manufacturer/supplier
• instructions in the Radio Installation manual.

Plug Assembly Procedure
CAUTION
Use caution when installing antennas
with mobile radio equipment using
transmitter power of 7 W or greater.
Install antennas only on metal bodied
vehicles.
NOTE
For low-power mobile radios (less than
7 W) there are no antenna type or installation restrictions.
To assure optimal radio performance and that human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is
within the guidelines referenced in this document,
transmit only when people inside and outside the vehicle are at least the minimum distance away from a
properly installed, externally-mounted antenna.
Figure 14.
Frequency Conversion
See Table 1. Antennas in each band are equipped with
whip radiators cut to the proper length for that specific
band. To change from one band to another, a whip
assembly of the proper length should be substituted
for one previously in use. Antennas in the 136-150.8
MHz range are also equipped with a spring washer

ranges of rated radio power.
Selecting an Antenna Site
1.
Install the vehicle antenna external to the
vehicle and in accordance with the requirements contained in this manual.
Mobile 1/4-Wave Antennas
2.
Motorola Recommendations for Mobile Antenna Location
The best mounting location for the antenna is
in the center of a large, flat conductive surface.
In almost all vehicles, mounting the antenna
in the center of the roof will satisfy these
requirements. A good alternative location is in
the center of the trunk lid. If you use the trunk
lid, ensure that the trunk lid is grounded by
connecting grounding straps between the
trunk lid and the vehicle chassis.
3.
Ensure the antenna cable can be easily routed
to the radio. Ensure that the antenna cable is
routed separately and not in parallel to any
other vehicle wiring or mobile radio cable
wiring.
4.
Check the antenna location for any electrical
interference.
NOTE
Any two metal pieces rubbing against
each other (such as seat springs, shift
levers, trunk and hood lids, exhaust
pipes, etc.) in close proximity to the
antenna can cause severe receiver interference.
5.
If the vehicle is equipped with an electronic
anti-lock braking system (ABS), mount the
antenna at the center of the roof or trunk lid
and do not route the antenna cable near the
ABS Modulator Box. Mount the radio as far
away from the Modulator Box as physically
possible. This minimizes radio interference to
the modulator box from the radio.
6.
Make sure the mobile radio antenna is
installed at least one foot (30.48cm) away from
any other antenna on the vehicle.
