USING AN EXTERNAL SPEAKER
The external speaker you use with the transceiver should have an
impedance of 8 ohms and be able to handle 3 to 10 watts of power,
The speaker cable must have a 1/8
-
inch plug. To connect the external
speaker to the transceiver, insert the speaker cable's plug into the
EXT
jack on the back of the transceiver.
