Notes:
Use a low-
loss coaxial feed line that also has a impedance of 50 Ω, to match the transceiver input impedance.
Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via
feed lines having an impedance other than 50 Ω reduces the
efficiency of the antenna system and damage transceiver.
Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other matched load may damage the transceiver. Always
connect the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting.
All fixed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
transceiver damage.
Power Cable Connection
Be sure to use a 12 V vehicle battery that has sufficient current capacity. If the current capacity
to the transceiver is insufficient, the transmit output power may drop excessively and
generate
warning tone. Never connect the transceiver to a 24 V battery. If necessary to connect the
transceiver to 24V power please select a specified DC-DC battery.
To prevent the risk of short circuits, disconnect other wiring from the negative battery terminal
before connecting the transceiver.
