Grounding
To prevent accidents involving electricity and interfer-
ence from transceivers, ground the receiver through
the [GND] terminal on the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap
to a long earth-sunk copper rod. Make the distance be-
tween the [GND] terminal and ground as short as pos-
sible.

WARNING: NEVER
connect the [GND]
terminal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connec-
tion could cause an explosion or electric shock.

Receiver stand
The base of the receiver has an adjustable stand for
