Base Station Installation
The
FT-2980R
is ideal for base station use as well as in mobile installations. The
FT-
2980R
is specifically designed to integrate into your station easily, using the information
to follow as a reference.
AC Power Supplies
Operation of the
FT-2980R
from an AC line requires a power source capable of providing
at least 15 Amps continuously at 13.8 Volts DC. The
FP-1023
and
FP-1030A
AC Power
Supplies are available from your Yaesu dealer to satisfy these requirements. Other well-
regulated power supplies may be used, as well, if they meet the above voltage and current
specifications.
Use the DC power cable supplied with your transceiver for making power connections to
the power supply. Connect the
RED
power cable lead to the
POSITIVE
(
+
) power supply
terminal, and connect the
BLACK
power cable lead to the
NEGATIVE
(
–
) power supply
terminal.
Base Station Feet
The supplied Base Station Feet allow the transceiver to be tilted upward for better viewing.
To install the Base Station Feet, remove the two screws affixing the front side of the
bottom cover, then install the Base Station Feet using these screws.
