Installation and Setup
Connecting an Antenna
Before using the transceiver, you must correctly connect a properly tuned and installed
antenna. To get the best results, be sure the antenna is tuned for the frequencies that
you intend to use, and the antenna’s impedance is 50 ohms.
Using an incorrect or
improperly installed antenna could harm the transceiver. Never attempt to transmit
without an antenna connected!
The transceiver is equipped with an SO-239 (UHF female) antenna connector. It will
require an antenna cable with a PL-259 (UHF male) connector.
