Connection of VHF Antenna

The VHF antenna is connected to the transceiver unit with a 50 ohm coaxial cable, type 5D-2V. Be sure to leave some slack in the cable for future service and maintenance.

Lay the coaxial cable and attach an M-type plug to the cable (if necessary) as follows.

1.Remove the sheath by 20 mm.

2.Bare 13 mm of the center conductor. Trim braided shield by 5 mm and tin.

3.Slide coupling ring onto cable.

4.Screw the plug assembly on the cable.

5.Solder plug assembly to braided shield through solder holes. Solder contact sleeve to conductor.

6.Screw coupling ring into plug assembly.

7.Screw the plug into the ANT connector at the rear of the transceiver unit.
