Antenna Connection
The beltpack comes with two detachable, screw-type, 1/4-wave
antennas. To attach the two antennas, screw into the receptacles
at the bottom of the beltpack. The color dot on the screw end of
the antenna must match the color dot on antenna receptacle. The
receive antenna screws into the left receptacle if the beltpack is
laying flat with the battery compartment face up and the antenna
receptacles facing you. The other antenna is the transmit
antenna. New antennas can be ordered if desired, see
“Accessories and Replacement Parts” on page 83.

modes:
Push-to-Talk (PT TALK) – Recom

transmitter is always on. No audio is sent unless the talk
switch, WTA or SA button is pressed.
