5. INSTALLATION PLANNING – CONTROL STATIONS
5-1. Antenna system
Control station. The antenna system selection depends on
many factors and is beyond the scope of this manual. Your
KENWOOD dealer can help you select an antenna system
that will best serve your particular needs.
5-2. Radio location
Select a convenient location for your control station radio
which is as close as practical to the antenna cable entry point.
Secondly, use your system’s power supply (which supplies
the voltage and current required for your system). Make sure
sufficient air can flow around the radio and power supply to
allow adequate cooling.

SERVICE

This radio is designed for easy servicing. Refer to the
schematic diagrams, printed circuit board views, and align-
ment procedures contained in this manual.
