INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
■
Connecting antenna
For radio communications, the antenna is of critical
importance, along with the output power and receiver
sensitivity. Select antennas, such as a well-matched
50
Ω
antenna, and feedline.
If you use only one antenna, connect it to the [ANT1]
connector.
CAUTION:
Protect your transceiver from light-
ning by using a lightning arrestor.
