ONNECTIONS
The MARK-V FT-1000MP’s three antenna connec-
tors, plus innovative microprocessor-based memory
and switching circuits, provide excellent flexibility in
setting up your antenna connections.
Typical antenna configurations are shown below.
Remember that Antenna A and Antenna B (which are
“SO-239” or “M” connectors) may be used for trans-
mission and reception, while the RX Antenna port
(which is an “RCA” type connector) may only be used
for reception.
NOTE REGARDING
LARGE RECEIVE ANTENNAS
Although surge suppression is provided on all an-
tenna ports, you may wish to consider building a
simple external circuit which will disconnect, on TX,
any antenna connected to the RX ANT IN jack,
particularly if you are using a very long wire an-
tenna such as a Beverage. Very long antennas can
build up very high RF and static voltages on them,
and the circuit below may provide better protection
for your receiver’s input circuitry.
