ANTENNA REQUIREMENT

This transceiver will operate with any standard 52 ohm ground-plane, vertical, mobile
whip, long wire or other CB antenna. A standard 80-239 type connector is provided on
the back panel for use with popular PL-259 antenna plug.

ANTENNA INSTALLATION

BASE STATION:

When the H-407 is used as a base station, any Citizens Band beam, dipole, ground plane
or vertical antenna may be used. A ground plane type will provide greater coverage and,
since it is essentially non-directional, It is ideal in base station to mobile operation. The
range of the transceiver depends basically on the height of the antenna and, whenever
possible, select the highest location within Home Office limits. (These limits are printed
on the C.B. Licence form).

MOBILE ANTENNAS:

A vertical whip antenna is best suited for mobile use. A non-directional antenna must be
used for best results in any case. The base loaded whip antenna will normally provide
effective communications. For greater range and more reliable operation, a full quarter-
wave whip should be used. Either of these antennas use the metal car body as a ground
plane and the shield of the base lead as well as the metal case of the transceiver should
be grounded. A standard antenna connector (type 80-239) is provided on the transceiver
for easy connection to a standard PL-259 cable termination.

NOTE: The above Home Office Limits no longer apply to CB Radio use within the UK.
