We now have a kit of parts to do this. Following is a copy of the instruction sheet supplied with each kit. TR-2200 Antenna Kit Instructions No. Part Name Part Number Q'ty 1 Whip Antenna T90-0082-05 1 2 Antenna Connector J32-0230-04 1 3 Washer N19-0282-04 2 4 Insulating Ring N19-0283-04 2 5 Antenna Lug E23-0097-04 1 6 Nut N14-0116-04 1 7 Pipe F29-0018-14 1 8 Ground Lug E23-0015-04 3 9 Screw 3x6 mm 1 10 Cable with capacitor 1 1 - Remove original antenna 2 - Enlarge antenna hole to 9.5 mm 3 - Install parts 1 thru 8 as shown in the graphic 4 - Remove coaxial cable that runs from the original whip antenna to the S0-239. 5 - Connect original coaxial cable from terminals ANT and E to the external antenna connector (S0-239). (This cable originally went from terminals ANT and E to the whip antenna.) 6 - Locate the 2 "L" brackets mounting the TX unit to the side and install 2 ground lugs between the bracket and the side ot the unit. 7 - Install the coaxial cable so that the end with the capacitor is at the S0-239. 8 - Solder the free end of the capacitor to the center pin of the S0-239 and solder the coax braid to the ground terminal. 9 - Mount the last ground lug wlth jXb mm screw at the hole next to the whip antenna. 10 - Solder the braid of the supplied coax to the ground lug installed in Step 9 and the center conductor of the coax to the antenna lug 2. 11 - Carefully solder the coax braid to the 2 lugs installed in Step 6.
