Amplifier diagram

The following illustration shows proper installation of the amplifier and its power
supply. The DC injector can be located by the radio, and the amplifier should be
at the antenna. The bi-directional amplifier is weather proof and can be mounted
outdoors. Refer to the bi-directional amplifier instructions for more information.

Refer to the amplifier chart (page 77) for minimum and maximum cable lengths.
