■ Installing an antenna
To obtain maximum performance from the transceiver, select
a high-quality antenna and mount it in a good location.
Antenna location
Roof-mount antenna
(Drill a hole or use a magnetic mount.)
Trunk-mount antenna
Gutter-mount antenna
Connect the coaxial cable that the antenna is connected to
the antenna connector on the rear panel of the main unit.
Main unit
Antenna connector
NOTE:
• Make the coaxial cable as short as possible.
• Be sure to seal the antenna connection.
D About the antenna
For radio communications, the antenna is of critically
importance, along with output power and receiver sensitivity.
Select a well-matched 50 Ω antenna and coaxial cable
feedline. We recommend 1.5:1 or better Voltage Standing
Wave Ratio (VSWR) on your operating bands.
D About the internal duplexer
The transceiver has an internal duplexer, and you can easily
connect a dual band antenna (VHF/UHF).
If you connect separate the VHF and UHF antennas, use an
external duplexer.
When you connect VHF and UHF antennas separately:

■ Connecting to a battery
R WARNING!
• NEVER remove the fuses from the cable connecting the
transceiver to a power source, especially a car battery.
• NEVER connect the transceiver directly to a 24 V battery.
The transceiver must be connected to a 24 V battery
through the DC-DC converter.
CAUTION:
• DO NOT use a cigarette lighter socket as a power source
when operating in a vehicle. The plug may cause voltage
drops and ignition noise may be superimposed onto
transmit or receive audio.
• DO NOT pull or tightly bend the DC power cable.
• DO NOT reverse the polarity when connecting the DC
power cable.
• Use a rubber grommet when passing the DC power cable
through a metal plate to prevent a short circuit.
• The transceiver may not receive well on some
frequencies when installed in a hybrid vehicle, or any
type of electric vehicle (fuel cell vehicle). This is because
vehicle’s electric components, such as the inverter
system, generate a lot of electrical noise.

■ Electromagnetic Interference
When you use a Bluetooth device, pay attention to the
following:
Bluetooth devices operate on the 2.4 GHz band.
The 2.4 GHz band is also used by other devices, such as
Wireless LAN products, microwave ovens, RFID systems,
amateur radio stations, and so on.
When using the Bluetooth device near such devices,
interference may occur, causing a decrease in
communication speed, and an unstable connection. In such
cases, use this device away from the other devices, or stop
using those devices.
L See the Advance manual for details. (Section 12)
