WARNINGS:

Using an antenna with gain greater then 3 dB can dam-

age the radio and exceed the safe exposure limits for ra-

dio frequency (RF) energy. Also, the energy from any VHF

radio antenna can be harmful, even one properly rated at

3 dB of gain! Do not come in contact with the antenna

while a transmission is being sent. Be sure the antenna is

installed where it is separated from people by at least 3

feet of space.
