NSTALLATION
The supplied antenna provides good results over the entire frequency range of the trans-
ceiver. However, for enhanced coverage in remote areas, an external mobile or base station
antenna may prove beneficial.
To install the supplied antenna
Hold the bottom end of the antenna, then screw it onto the mating connector on the trans-
ceiver until it is snug. Do not over-tighten by use of extreme force.
Notes:
m
Never transmit without having an antenna connected.
m
When installing the supplied antenna, never hold the
upper part of the antenna while screwing it onto the
mating connector on the transceiver.
m
Remember that a large base-station antenna will have
considerably more gain than the supplied rubber flex
antenna, and this added gain may degrade the ability of
the
VX-110
to resist intermodulation-type interference. The installation of a suitable
144-148 MHz bandpass filter in the coaxial line to a base station will usually eliminate
such interference, if encountered.
