POWER RECEPTACLE [DC13.8V]
Accepts 13.8 V DC ±15% with the supplied DC power
cable.
NOTE: DO NOT use a cigarette lighter socket as a
power source when operating in a vehicle. The plug
may cause voltage drops and ignition noise may be su-
perimposed onto transmit or receive audio.
ANTENNA INFORMATION
For radio communications, the antenna is of critical impor-
tance, to maximize your output power and receiver sensitiv-
ity. The transceiver accepts a 50
Ω
antenna and a Voltage
Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.5:1 or less. High SWR
values not only may damage the transceiver but also lead
to TVI or BCI problems.
