4. 설정 및 설치

4.1. Ground Plane Assembly

1. Identify the central connector for the ground planes.
2. Select the appropriate ground plane rods based on your operating frequency:
   • 사용하세요 short ground planes (9.5cm/3.74inch) for optimal performance on UHF(400-470MHz).
   • 사용하세요 long ground planes (15cm/5.9inch) for optimal performance on VHF(136~174MHz).
3. Carefully screw the three selected ground plane rods into the designated ports on the central connector. Ensure they are finger-tight.

4.2. 안테나 조립

1. Screw the assembled ground plane unit onto the base of the antenna whip.
2. Attach the antenna whip assembly to the magnetic base. Ensure a secure connection.

4.3. Vehicle Mounting

1. Choose a flat, metallic surface on your vehicle, such as the roof or trunk lid, that is free from obstructions and provides a clear line of sight.
2. Clean the chosen surface thoroughly to ensure maximum magnetic adhesion and to prevent scratching.
3. Place the magnetic base firmly onto the cleaned metallic surface. The strong magnet will secure the antenna. The silicone gasket on the base helps protect your vehicle's paint.
4. Route the 5m (16.4ft) RG58/U coaxial cable carefully to your radio, avoiding sharp bends, pinching, or interference with doors or windows.

4.4. 라디오 연결하기

1. The antenna cable terminates with a UHF PL259 Male Connector.
2. If your radio has a UHF SO239 Female port, connect the PL259 Male connector directly.
3. If your radio requires an SMA Female connection (common on handheld radios), use the provided SO239 to SMA Female Adapter. First, connect the PL259 Male to the SO239 side of the adapter, then connect the SMA Female side to your radio.
4. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent signal loss.

5. 운영

Once installed and connected, your Bingfu antenna is ready for use. Ensure your radio is set to the correct frequency band (VHF or UHF) corresponding to the ground planes you have installed for optimal performance.

• 주파수 범위:
  • 초단파: 136-174MHz
  • 초고주파: 400-470MHz
• SWR 튜닝: While the antenna is designed for broad coverage, fine-tuning the SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) with an SWR meter is recommended for peak performance and to protect your radio's final amplifier. The included hex tool may be used for minor adjustments if the antenna whip allows for it.

6. 유지관리

• 청소: Periodically clean the antenna whip and magnetic base with a soft, damp 옷감. 연마성 세제를 피하십시오.
• Magnetic Base Inspection: Regularly check the magnetic base and the vehicle surface beneath it for any debris that could scratch the paint or reduce magnetic adhesion. Ensure the silicone gasket is intact.
• 케이블 검사: Inspect the coaxial cable for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Ensure connectors are clean and tight.
• 저장: When not in use for extended periods, especially in harsh weather, it is recommended to remove the antenna and store it in a dry, protected environment.
