4. Affix the TNC connector-end of the coax to the mating connector
inside the upper half of the GPS antenna. Be sure to tighten it
securely as vibration can loosen the connection over time. In
addition, protect the coax-to-antenna connection with liquid
electrical tape or self-vulcanizing electrical tape.
5. Align the upper half of the antenna with the bottom half and tighten
the four screws. Be careful not to overtighten the screws, as this may
deform the watertight seal between the two antenna halves.
6. Make a termination for a male BNC connection—as described in the
following steps—then connect the antenna to the female BNC
connection at the back of the unit:
1. Strip the cable jacket to the dimensions (shown in
inches) in "Figure 7: Stripping the coax cable jacket"
below. Don't nick the center conductor.
2. See "Figure 8: Flared cable braid" below: Slide the outer
ferrule on as shown. Slightly flare the end of the cable
braid, as shown, to facilitate insertion into inner ferrule.
