• A push-to-talk button is required. A driver and passenger PTT button
kit is available to allow either person to initiate communications on the
CB radio under BMW PN 99 99 0 000 193.
• The CB radio is connected to the ComSystem under the bodywork of
the radio area, so alternative mounting locations will be possible.
• Ensure that the CB radio antenna is balanced to the CB, with as low
a “SWR” measurement as possible. The above mentioned antenna
kit will produce excellent SWR readings near 1.1 when adjusted
correctly.
