and surrounding objects, such as trains, transmitters, etc.
● Mast type antenna  The radio antenna is mounted on the right-side
front fender. The antenna can be removed from the base by turning it.
● Print type antenna  The radio antenna is mounted inside the left-side
rear quarter window. To maintain clear radio reception, do not attach
metallic window tinting or other metallic objects to the antenna wire
mounted inside the left-side rear quarter window.
