EXT SP

Jack

This 2-conductor, 3.5-mm mini phone jack provides receiver audio output for
an optional external speaker. The audio impedance is 8

Ω

, and the level varies

according to the setting of the front panel’s

VOL

control. Inserting a plug into

this jack disables audio from the transceiver’s internal speaker. This jack may
also be used as a source of receiver audio during 1200 bps Packet operation.

‚

13.8 VDC

Cable Pigtail w/Fuse

This is the DC power supply connection for the transceiver.

NTENNA

Connector

Connect a dual-band antenna’s 50

Ω

cable to this M-type (SO-239) coaxial

connector (European versions are equipped with a Type-N connector). Be
certain to use the proper type of plug for connection of the coaxial cable.
