Installing an antenna
To obtain maximum performance from the transceiver, select
a high-quality antenna and mount it in a good location.
Antenna location
NOTE:
•Make the coaxial cable as short as possible.
•Be sure to seal the antenna connection.

About the antenna
For radio communications, the antenna is of critically
importance, along with output power and receiver sensitivity.
Select a well-matched 50 Ω antenna and coaxial cable
feedline. We recommend 1.5:1 or better Voltage Standing
Wave Ratio (VSWR) on your operating bands.
D
About the internal duplexer
The transceiver has an internal duplexer, and you can easily
connect a dual band antenna (VHF/UHF).
If you connect separate the VHF and UHF antennas, use an
external duplexer.
When you connect VHF and UHF antennas separately:
Gutter-mount antenna
Roof-mount antenna
(Drill a hole or use a magnetic mount.)
Trunk-mount antenna
Connect the coaxial cable that the antenna is connected to
the antenna connector on the rear panel of the main unit.
