Its as simple as following the directions that come with the fuba.

Not at all. There is an oring type seal thats a part ofthe antenna mount.
it does a great job sealing the roof. I worried aboutthis but decided to
leave it as it was and if it leaked I would simply fill the hole with
silicone and let dry. So far, so good.

Theres no plug, but I think they should include one. The dealer has them
for about a buck or less, maybe? I forgot how much they cost but its not
much. One of the rare cheap items from the dealer.

antennas.

Only one as far as ive seen, FUBA Beta D. I believe this is the amplified
version, I forget. I cant really compare since I have never had the other
version. Maybe its not much but HTH anyways!
