Installation
Select a location that is convenient for operation and allows adequate air circula- tion around the unit. Do not place anything directly on top of the radio cabinet which would block the cooling vents. Avoid areas of high heat. Do not place the
unit on top of radiator vents or in direct sunlight. Do not place the unit in high moisture environments such as bathrooms.
Antenna
Since the maximum allowable power output of the transceiver is limited by the D.O.C, the antenna isa very important factor affecting transmission distance. It is for this reason that we strongly recommend that you install only a quality antenna in your new CB radio system. You have purchased a superior quality transceiver. Don't diminish its performance by installing an inferior antenna.
Only a properly matched antenna system will allow maximum power transfer from the
Uniden dealer is qualified to assist you in the selection of the proper antenna to meet your application requirements.
The PRO 81 Oe may be used with any type of 50 ohm base station antenna. A ground plane vertical antenna will provide the most uniform horizontal coverage. This type of antenna is best suited for communication with a mobile unit. For point to point operation where both stations are fixed, a directional beam will usually increase communication range since this type of antenna concentrates transmitted energy in one direction. The beam antenna also allows the receiver to "listen" in only one direction thus reducing interfering signals.
Antenna height is an important factor when maximum range is desired. Keep the
antenna clear of surrounding structures and foliage. D.O.C regulations may limit antenna height above an existing structure.
