 | The antenna is a small black box about 3" x 2" x 1.5" with mounting flanges on the top and bottom which can accept nylon screws or nylon cable ties. The antenna may be mounted to any non-metallic support. If you mount the antenna outdoors you should mount it inside an enclosure. While the antenna itself is completely waterproof the cable connector should be protected from the rain. We recommend that you purchase a short length of PVC or ABS sewer pipe (at least 2.5" inside diameter, 2-3 feet long) from your local hardware store. Mount the antenna inside and place an end cap over the top. Keep a small opening at the bottom to allow any condensation to drain out. |

| Height is not critical. While the antenna will work as low as 5 feet off the ground, raising the antenna higher will improve reception and reduce the likelyhood of local interference. The antenna needs to be high enough to place it above any large metal objects. Mounting the antenna on the second floor or in the attic is usually enough height. |

| You may have up to 200 feet of antenna cable. Fifty feet of cable is included with the system. |

| Both StormTracker and the LD-250 use an 8 conductor cable (4 twisted pairs). The cable and connectors are the same type as used in 10baseT network wiring. |
| | |
| The antenna needs to point in the same direction as the top of your map (usually true north). If the antenna is rotated away from north the strike locations will appear rotated as well. |
