Mobile whip antennas utilize the metal body of the vehicle as a ground plane. When mounted on a corner of the vehicle, they are slightly directional, in the direction of the body of the vehicle. For all practical purposes, however, the radiation pattern is
When installed in a boat, the transceiver will perform most efficiently when antenna used has been specifically designed for marine applications.
Before installing the transceiver in a boat, consult your dealer for information
regarding an adequate grounding system and prevention of electrolysis between fitt- ings in the hull and water.
BASE STATION OPERATION
To operate the transceiver from your home or office, using regular house current as the power source, you will require a separate power supply capable of supplying 2.5 amps at a 13.8V DC output with a nominal input voltage of 120 volts AC, 50/60Hz.
Simply connect the red (+) and black
NOTE:
Do not attempt to operate th is transceiver by connectin.g directly to 117V AC. When AC power supply is used with the transceiver for base station
operation any Citizens Band beam, dipole, ground plane or vertical antenna may be used. A ground plane vertical antenna wi II provide the most uniform
horizontal coverage.
REMOTE SPEAKER
The external speaker jack (EXT. SPKR) on the rear panel is used for remote receiver monitoring. The external speaker should have 8 ohms impedance. When the external speaker is plugged in, the internal speaker is disconnected.
PUBLIC ADDRESS
An external 8 ohm
separation or isolation of the microphone and speaker is important when operating
the PA at high output levels.
