CONNECTING THE RADIO

To operate correctly, your radio requires two electrical connections:

x

providing it with power from the boat’s electrical system

x

connecting a VHF-FM marine antenna to the antenna connector

Power Supply Requirements

VHF Antenna Requirements

Nominal 13.8 VDC power supply with a
negative ground (10.5 VDC to 16.0 VDC).

Power leads should be kept as short as
possible. A direct connection to the power
supply is ideal.

Minimum of #14 AWG copper wire for
extensions up to 20 feet, 12 AWG wire for
extensions from 20 to 35 feet, or 10 AWG
wire for extensions from 35 to 60 feet.

Male PL-259 connector

50 Ω impedance

Minimum 3 foot, 3 dB rated antenna for
sailboats or 8 foot, 6 dB rated antenna for
powerboats

Minimum RG-58 lead-in wire for antenna
leads up to 20 feet, RG-8X for antenna
leads from 20 to 35 feet, or RG-8U for
antenna leads from 35 to 60 feet.

1. Connect the BLACK wire of the power cable to the NEGATIVE (-) side of your power

source.

2. Connect the RED wire of the power cable to the POSITIVE (+) side of your power

source.

#

NOTE: To extend the life of the radio, use waterproof tape to seal electrical connections.

13.8V DC

Black wire

(-)

Red wire

(+)

3. Install your antenna according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
4. If necessary, consult the FCC guidelines for antenna separation. See Antenna Selection

and Installation on page 46 for more details. (In summary, the FCC recommends that
antennas up to 3 dB be installed a minimum of 3 feet from any occupied location;
antennas over 3 dB should be installed at least 6 feet away.)

5. Connect the PL-259 connector from the antenna lead-in wires to the SO238 connector

labeled ANTENNA on the back of your radio.

6. Plug the power cable into the power cable pigtail on the back of your radio.
