Installing the Midland 3dB Gain Ghost Antenna with an NMO connection is a straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Preparation: First, choose a suitable mounting location on your vehicle. This antenna is designed for use with an NMO mount, so ensure you have a compatible NMO mount.
- Mount Removal (If Applicable): If there's an existing antenna or mount in your chosen spot, remove it.
- Hole Drilling (If Necessary): If you're installing a new NMO mount, you might need to drill a hole. The hole should be between 3/8 inch and 3/4 inch in diameter to accommodate the NMO cable assembly and the mount itself. Always double-check the specifications for your specific NMO mount and vehicle.
- Cable Connection: Attach the NMO cable assembly to the NMO mount and feed the cable through the hole you've drilled.
- Mount Installation: Securely attach the NMO mount to your vehicle using the appropriate hardware. Ensure it is firmly in place to withstand the elements and driving conditions.
- Antenna Attachment: Now, attach the Midland 3dB Gain Ghost Antenna to the NMO mount. Make sure it's tightened securely.
- Radio Connection: Connect the other end of the NMO cable assembly to your radio or radio system.
- Testing: Power on your radio and test the antenna to verify it's functioning correctly. Check for signal strength and clarity.
