NSTALLATION
The supplied antenna provides good results over the entire
frequency range of the transceiver. However, for enhanced re-
ception on certain non-Amateur frequencies, you may wish to
connect an antenna designed specifically for that frequency
range, as the supplied antenna is necessarily a compromise out-
side the Amateur bands, and cannot be expected to provide
high performance at all frequencies.
To install the supplied antenna, hold the bottom end of the an-
tenna, then screw it onto the mating connector on the transceiver
until it is snug. Do not over-tighten by use of extreme force.
Notes:
Never transmit without having an antenna connected.
When installing the supplied antenna, never hold the
up-
per
part of the antenna while screwing it onto the mating connector on the transceiver.
If using an external antenna for transmission, ensure that the SWR presented to the
transceiver is 1.5:1 or lower, to avoid excessive feedline loss.
