VueStar ™ Manual- Rev B
The location of the antenna holes in the aircraft need to allow enough room on the inside of
the skin for the nuts to be threaded onto the mounting screws, as well as have enough space
for the antenna cable to connect to the TNC connector without putting pressure or tension on
the TNC connector, antenna cable, or connection. (Figure 3)
Once the desired location on the plane body is chosen and the measurements are correctly made,
consult the aircraft technical manual or a qualified aircraft technician about the proper tools and steps
needed in order to create the needed mounting and connector holes. Make sure to choose a location
that is not near crucial systems and that can withstand the strain of installation as well as the weight
of the antenna.
