NOTE: After inserting the coaxial cable into the AH-
4 top cover, solder the PL-259 connector to the
coaxial cable.
Remove the top cover (Fig. 1).
Install the control cable and coaxial cable (Fig. 1).
Connect and solder the PL-259 connector to the
coaxial cable (Fig. 4).
Connect the control cable to the AH-4 (Fig. 2).
Connect the GND cable to the AH-4 (Fig. 3).
Replace the top cover.
Mount the AH-4 in the desired location; on an an-
tenna pole, in your vehicle’s trunk, etc. (Fig. 5).
Connect an antenna to the AH-4 (Fig. 6).
Connect the control cable and the coaxial cable to
the transceiver.
INSTALLATION
Fig. 1 COVER REMOVAL AND CABLE
INSTALLATION
Remove 8 screws from the top cover and remove
the cover.
Loosen the screws on both cable clamps. If de-
sired, install a strain relief insert (supplied) corre-
sponding to the diameter of the cable.
Install the coaxial cable through the top cover
cable clamp.
Install the control cable through the bottom cover
cable clamp.
After connecting the coaxial cable and control ca-
bles, tighten the cable clamp screws.

Copper pipe Metal object Copper screen
To AH-4 GND terminal
The transceiver and antenna tuner must have an ade-
quate ground connection. Otherwise, the overall ef-
fency of the transceiver and antenna tuner installation
will be reduced. Interference, RF feed back and elec-
trical shocks from other equipment could also occur.
For best results, use the heaviest gauge wire or strap
available and make the connection as short as possi-
ble. (see right)
A long wire connected to the GND terminal as a counter-
poise is also acceptable.
