3. Coil the extra cable, leave a drip loop, and secure the transmit 

cable with cable ties.

4. Route the receive cable (marked with red electrical tape) over 

the Az/El mount assembly, behind the reflector, and along the 
feed support tube to the TRIA, in a configuration similar to 
that shown in Figure 38.
Do not exceed the minimum cable bending radius.

5. For the receive cable, leave a 138-inch service loop (11.5 ft), 

secured to the mast, Az/El mount assembly, or reflector 
bracket. This allows 10 ft for a service loop plus 18 inches for 
installation of a future Ka-band radio upgrade.

6. Coil the extra cable, leave a drip loop, and secure the receive 

cable with cable ties. 

Ground the transmitter and mast. For specific grounding 
procedures, refer to the sources listed in Grounding on page 4.

Figure 39 shows the location of the ground screw on the J-type 
radio assembly. Figure 40 shows the ground screw on the 
cradle-type radio assembly.      

Note:

When you connect the cables, tighten all radio and 

ground block connectors with a torque wrench to 20 inch-lb.

Note:

The transmitter may look a little different than the one 

shown in Figure 40, but the connectors are still on the end of the 
transmitter, as shown, and they are clearly marked

: GND – ground. 

IFL – interfacility link, for transmit cable.
