Rear Panel

DC INPUT CABLE

Connects the radio to a DC power supply capable of delivering 12V DC.

EXTERNAL SPEAKER CONNECTION CABLE

Connects the 

GX1150

 to an external speaker.

GPS RECEIVER CONNECTION CABLE

Connects the 

GX1150

 to a GPS receiver.

GND TERMINAL

Connects the 

GX1150

 to a good ground, for safety and optimum perfor-

mance.
Normally, the 

GND

 connection to the heat sink is not needed. However,

when the DC power cable connection to the radio has a long run, the
transmitter may become unstable and the receiving audio may be noisy. In
such a case, connect a large diameter, short cable between this terminal
on the heat sink and battery ground.

Install only the supplied screw or similar size (M3x6, Stainless Steel)
screw.

ANTENNA JACK

Connects an antenna to the transceiver. Use a marine VHF antenna with
an impedance of 50 ohms.
