To connect a dipole or long-wire antenna: 

1.  Turn the transceiver off. 
2. Open the harness envelope, to reach the coaxial cable 

interconnecting the RF connectors of the transceiver and the ATU. 

3.  Disconnect the cable from the transceiver RF connector. 
4.  Connect the coaxial feed of the antenna directly to the transceiver RF 

connector. 

5.  You may now disassemble the whip antenna (see Chapter 2). 
6.  Close the harness envelope. You may now operate the transceiver 

with the dipole or long-wire antenna. 

 

➤ 

To return the transceiver to regular operation (with whip 

antenna): 

Reconnect the ATU to the transceiver and reinstall the whip antenna 
by reversing the procedure given above.
