Once you choose an antenna, follow
its mounting instructions. Then route
the cable to the transceiver and con-
nect the cable to the
ANT
jack on the
back of the transceiver.
Cautions:
• Avoid routing the cable next to
sharp edges or moving parts,
which might damage the cable.
• Do not run the cable next to
power cables or other radio
antenna cables.
• Do not run the cable through the engine compartment or
other areas that produce extreme heat.
To achieve your radio's maximum range, adjust the antenna's
Standing Wave Ratio (SWR). You can use an SWR meter (not
supplied) to adjust the SWR for your antenna.
Follow the instructions supplied with the SWR meter and antenna
to adjust your antenna's SWR to the lowest possible value. SWR
values of 2.0:1 are generally acceptable, with readings of 1.5:1 or
lower being more desirable.
Caution:
You might damage your transceiver if you use it at a
high SWR value.
