Antenna installation

D

Antenna location

To obtain maximum performance from the transceiver, select
a high-quality antenna and mount it in a good location. A non-
radial antenna should be used when using a magnetic mount.

D

Antenna connector

The antenna uses a PL-259 connector.

• PL-259 CONNECTOR

q

Slide the coupling ring
down. Strip the cable
jacket and soft solder.

w

Strip the cable as shown
at right. Soft solder the
center conductor.

e

Slide the connector
body on and solder it.

r

Screw the coupling ring
onto the connector body.
