MOUNTING BRACKET ASSEMBLY

 Notes for making the mounting hole

The  transceiver  can  be  mounted  securely  in  the  supplied 
mounting bracket.
Remember to allow adequate space for installation of cables 
and connectors.
When installing two or more transceivers in a stack, the mount-
ing bracket should be 1.3 mm 

(

0.05

)

 apart.

The  mounting  bracket  has  0.6  mm 

(

0.024

)

  dimples  in  the 

top, bottom, and both sides for proper spacing.
Mark and cut the mounting holes.
To support the mounting bracket, the rear mounting bosses 
should be attached to the airframe.

MOUNTING TO THE BRACKET

CAUTION: 

Make sure that the cable between the trans-

ceiver and front panel is securely connected. The trans-
ceiver may not function properly when loose or when a 
wrong connection is made.
Improper cable connection can cause damage and result 
in severe non-warranty repair.

Use two pairs of #18 AWG wire for the power and power  
connections.

To prevent physical damage, a 10 A circuit breaker 

MUST 

be 

installed in the DC power line in the aircraft. Install the circuit 
breaker in the aircraft breaker panel or instrument panel to

  Yoke-mounted memory and frequency exchange 

switches

For  the  yoke-mounted  memory  and  frequency  exchange 
switches, use a two-position spring loaded rocker switch or 
two separate momentary push switches.

 Transmit/receive interlock connections

When two transceivers are installed, connect pin N to the 
other transceiver

’s

 PTT line, and connect pin 9 to the other 

transceiver

’s

 interlock line to prevent both transceivers from 

simultaneously transmitting.
However, when two transceivers are installed through a dual 
audio panel, the connections are not necessary.

Use #24 AWG wire for the connections.
