Antenna System

The antenna system receives broadcast AM or FM stereo signals from free space and sends the signals to the radio receiver for processing via a coaxial antenna cable. The antenna cable is a coax cable, which connects the radio to the antenna. The antenna ground should not exceed 50 m ohms when measuring between the antenna connector shield and negative battery terminal. The AM broadcast is 522-1629 KHz in 9 KHz steps while the FM broadcast is 76-90 MHz in 100 KHz steps.

The mast antenna is mounted on the right front side of the vehicle. The fixed mast antenna has a single 1/4 wave monopole receiving element which protrudes from the vehicle. The fixed mast antenna directly receives RF signals and feeds the signal directly to the radio head for processing.
