4.2 Antenna
Proper installation of a quality VHF antenna is very important to reliable radio
communication. A good quality unity gain antenna is recommended for maximum
range performance. In general, antennas should be located as high as practical and
separated as much as possible from other antennas and structures. The minimum
distance to other objects is 1 meter. Route the antenna cable away from other
electronic equipment and do not bundle the antenna or power cable with other wiring,
especially transducer cables for depth sounders and fish finders. For cables longer
than 10 meters, RG-8/U coaxial cable must be used. Mount the antenna and install
the connector(s) in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. Connect the
antenna cable to the RF output connector on the rear panel of the transceiver.
