3.8 Antenna Alignment

1. Tighten the mounting bracket azimuth and elevation lock bolts just enough to allow the radio to

pivot up/down and right/left with minimal effort. Tilt the radio so that it roughly points towards
the other end of the link.

2. Thread the Visual Alignment Tool (VAT) into one of the four holes in the front (antenna) face of

the radio so that the o-ring just touches the radio face. The VAT is used to roughly orient
(align) the radio in the correct direction. Select the hole that allows the most convenient viewing
of the other end of the link. The best viewing is achieved with your eye about 13 inches (33cm)
from the VAT mirror. Move the radio such that it is aimed at the point tangent to the top of the red
indicator when all three indicators (green/red/green) are in a line with equal gaps between the
indicators.
