Connector Installation
Before installing the connector, cut off any excess length of cable (at the radio end) to avoid
unnecessary signal loss. When the necessary preparations have been made, install the connector
using the following steps:
UHF Connector (Motorola part # 28-82021G01)
1. Disassemble the connector as shown in Figure 7A.
2. Cut off end of cable squarely and remove 3/4” of vinyl jacket. Refer to Figure 7B.

and trim to 3/8”. Base 5/8” of conductor. Tin exposed center conductor. Add teflon washer for
470 MHz and higher.
Do not use magnet mount on vinyl roofs, magnet mount will not
properly hold the antenna on vehicle because holding power is
reduced. Magnet mount will not “hold on” to aluminum and non-
metallic surfaces.
Use a hot soldering iron. DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE HEAT
OR SOLDER. Solder quickly to avoid melting surrounding
insulation.
