Radio assembly types

The radio assembly is not part of the antenna kit; however, radio

assembly installation is included in this manual because the

antenna and radio assembly are usually installed at the same time.

There are two possible radio assemblies available for the

.98 m

antenna, the J-type radio assembly or cradle-type radio assembly.

J-type radio assembly Figure 10 shows the J-type radio assembly, referred to as J-type

because its waveguide is shaped something like the letter J.

J-type refers to the overall design of the radio; therefore, two

radios with different model numbers may both be J-type radios.

Vertical shim kit (if required)

A vertical transmit shim kit may be required for the J-type radio

assembly only. If the installation specification states that vertical

transmit polarization is required, you will need to obtain and

install a vertical shim kit (

Figure 11) in the radio assembly.

Otherwise, a vertical shim is not required. For more information,
