INSTALLATION

4. If you’re having difficulties in adjusting your antenna, check the following:

a. All doors must be closed when adjusting the antenna.

b. Make sure the base of the antenna is grounded.

c. Check your coaxial cable routing (it may be pinched when routed into the car).

d. Try a different location in your car (keeping in mind the radiation pattern you wish.)

e. Is the antenna perfectly vertical?

f. Try a different location in your neighborhood. Stay away from large metal objects

when adjusting (metal telephone polls or light post, fences, etc.)

NOTE

The transceiver will operate into an SWR of 2 to 1

indefinitely and sustain an SWR of 2:1 for a maximum of

5 minutes at rated operating conditions.

EXTERNAL SPEAKER

The external speaker jack (EXT SP.) on the rear panel is used for remote receiver

monitoring. The external speaker should have 8 ohms impedance and be able to handle at

least 4 watts. When the external speaker is plugged in, the internal speaker is disconnected.

PUBLIC ADDRESS

To use the transceiver as a public address system, connect an external 8 ohms speaker (4

watts minimum) to the PA. SP. jack located on the rear panel. Direct the speaker away

from the microphone to prevent acoustic feedback. Physical separation or isolation of the

microphone and speaker is important when operating the PA at high output levels.
