[C320-list] Antenna

[Jeff Hare]

Sometimes I think the guys doing the commissioning haven't got a clue...
The VHF antenna must not be bent.  That affects the antenna's ability to
radiate a proper wave.  Put a SWR meter on your radio and I bet it's
not matched at all.

The way it's done on my boat is to have the antenna straight and put the
dog-leg bend in the Windex stem.

Good luck!
