Antenna Installation and Removal
Before installing the antenna, ensure that the match between your radio and
antenna is correct. Your radio’s model number is on a label attached to the
back of your radio. A typical model number might be H09UCC9PW5AN. The
fourth position of the model number (in this example “U”) identifies the
operating-frequency band of the radio. The following table lists all fourth-
position alpha characters and corresponding frequency band.
Antennas are frequency sensitive and are color coded according to the
frequency range of the antenna. The color code indicator is in the center of the
base of the antenna. The following illustrations and table will help identify the
antenna, antenna frequency range, and corresponding color code.
