The Hy-Gain, Hy-Range II is a full 23-channel transceiver designed and type accepted for Class D
Citizens Band operation as designated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). See the

section on FCC Regulations for further information.

It is a completely solid-state, compact unit with high reliability and low power consumption. The system of
frequency synthesization provides immediate operation on all 23 channels without additional crystals or
adjustments. It features a delta tune control, which helps pick up stations that are slightly off-frequency. A
switchable automatic noise limiter (ANL) is included to help reduce atmospheric noise. The unit can be

used for public address with the addition of a PA speaker.

The Hy-Range II transceiver operates from 12 volts DC (nominal), either negative or positive ground. For
best results from your transceiver, please read all the instructions before beginning your installation.

Regulations. Don't tamper with any internal adjustments; these adjustments can be done only by

someone with a first- or second-class radiotelephone license. Especially, be sure that only factory-

authorized crystals, transistors, and other components are used in this radio.

There is a list of these centers included with the radio.

Choose a convenient location that is protected
from moisture and heat, and be sure that the unit
will not interfere with your driving. Decide in
advance the best way to route the antenna coax.

Mounting Bracket

Use the bracket as a template to mark where the mounting holes will be drilled. Measure carefully to be

certain the installation will be straight.

With a center punch, indent the marked areas. This will prevent the drill bit from skipping when the hole is

drilled. Dash Mounted

Attach the bracket with at lease three screws for a sturdy installation. Use the large thumb screws to
