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. 2. 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.

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.

Motorola Recommendations for Mobile Antenna Location Mobile 1/4-Wave Antennas 2. 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.
