CONNECTING AN ANTENNA

There are many different types of transceiver antennas for mobile transceivers. Each antenna type has its own benefits, so choose the one that best meets your needs. Your local RadioShack store sells a wide variety of antennas.

Note: If you are using this transceiver as a base station, see “Us- ing the Transceiver as a Base Station” on Page 14.

When you choose an antenna, keep in mind that for the best performance you should mount the antenna:

•as high as possible on the vehicle

•as far as possible from sources of electrical noise

•vertically
