■Antenna installation

Antennas play a very impor tant role in receiver operation.

Connecting a poor quality antenna to the IC-PCR100 will re-

sult in less than optimum performance.

Select antenna(s), such as a well-matched 50 Ωantenna and

f eedline . 1.5:1 of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is rec-

ommended for a desired band. Of course, the antenna line

should be a coaxial cable.

CAUTION: Protect your receiver from lightning by

using a lightning arrestor.

NOTE: The supplied antenna is a simple plain antenna which

may not obtain indicated speciﬁcations. To obtain maximum

perf ormance from the IC-PCR100, you must purchase an ex-

ternal wide band antenna such as an optional Icom AH-7000

(25–1300 MHz), etc.

Contact your nearest Icom Dealer or Service Center for re-

garding optimum antenna locations.

The antenna connector type is BNC, so an adapter ma y be

necessary to connect an optional antenna.

■Grounding

RWARNING: NEVER use a gas pipe or electrical

conduit pipe for grounding.

To prevent accidents involving electricity and interference

from computers, ground the receiver through the GROUND

terminal on the rear panel.

F or best results, connect a hea vy gauge cab le to a w ater pipe

or long, earth-sunk copper rod. Make the distance between

the [GND] terminal and ground as short as possible.
