Comet antenna help

I just received a Comet GP-24 and have no idea how to tune
the (3) 2 inch long radials. The omni antenna I am currently using does not
have any radials. Please help, thank you.

I doubt there is much, if anything, to tune. The mfr pdf seems to be
here <http://www.cometantenna.com/pdfs/gp-24%20spec%20sheet.pdf>

I can't find any "Installation Instructions". Guessing, the radials
should be fixed at some pre marked location, but this is really a guess.

The pdf has a contact at the bottom

They made it so they should know how to install it - I'm sure someone
there can assist you.

Good luck

Don't know if this is the answer you're looking for, but....

The non-radial antenna may have an internal sleeve inside that you can't
see (in a fiberglass radome?), http://inscapedata.com/OA.htm Generally, you
don't have to "tune" ground plane radials.

Thanks alot. I just screwed them in and it works fine.
