Before connecting to the VE-PG3, set the transceiver and repeater as shown in the following table.
• The transceiver settings affect the audio quality.
• See the transceiver's instruction manual for the setting details.
• Turn OFF the Power Save function to prevent missing the beginning words of a call.
*Use the specified connection cable when connecting the transceiver or repeater to the VE-PG3.
The following transceivers and repeaters can be used with the VE-PG3.
• Marine transceiver :
IC-M604
•
Air band transceiver :
IC-A110
• Mobile transceivers :
IC-F5060/IC-F6060 series
• Repeaters
:
IC-FR5000/IC-FR6000 series
When two or more transceivers are connected to the VE-PG3, the transmit signal from one transceiver can interfere with the other
transceivers.
Interference can be reduced by the methods shown below.

To reduce interference
NOTE: Set the transceiver channel, volume level, TX output power, and other necessary settings, before
connecting to the VE-PG3.
NOTE: When two or more transceivers are connected to the VE-PG3, separate their antennas as far as possible to
reduce interference between them.

Use the antenna directivity
Even a non-directive antenna has less transmit emission in the
vertical direction. When installing two antennas, mount them at dif-
ferent heights to reduce interference.
Set the TX output power to Low
Setting the transmit power to low can reduce interference.
But, note that it also reduces the coverage area.

Set the channel (frequency) spacing to wide
There may be interference from an adjacent channel (frequency).
Setting the channel (frequency) spacing to wide can reduce inter-
ference.
Use a solid object as the shield screen
A solid object (such as a concrete wall which has a metal frame
inside, metal locker, and so on.) in between two antennas behaves
like a shield screen for the transmit signal, and can reduce interfer-
ence.
