WE lCOM E

To the world of sophisticated, microprocessor controlled AM/SSBradio communica- tions. Your Uniden PC 122 represents the most advanced mobile type radio ever

designed for use in the Citizens Band Radio Service. It will operate on any of the 40 AM frequencies and Upper and Lower Side Band Frequencies designated by the Department of Communications. Your PC 122 features a frequency synthesizing circuit with PHASE LOCK LOOPtechniques to assure precisefrequency control. This radio has been type accepted and certified by the D.O.C.

WARNING

Before transmitting with your transceiver, you must obtain a Department of Communications (D.O.C.) Citizens Radio Licence. Obtain an application form, from the D.O.C. Before completing the form you should read the conditions governing the licensing and operation of the C.R.S. (D.O.C. brochure RB 249). This brochure also can be obtained from the D.O.C.After completing the application form, mail it with the appropriate fee to the Superintendant Regulatory of Licensingin the State or territory in which the station will be operated.

MOBilE INSTAllATION

Plan the location of the radio and microphone bracket before starting installation. Select a iocation that is convenient for operation and does not interfere with the driver or passenger in the vehicle. The radio should be securely fastened to a solid surface usingthe mounting bracket and self-tappingscrews which are provided.

MOBILE ANTENNA

Since the maximum allowable power output of the transceiver is' limited by the D.O.C., the antenna is a 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 Trom me 50-ohm transmission line to the radiating element. We recommend that you use an SWR meter when installing your antenna. Set your PC 122 to channel 20 and adjust to SWR - 1. Your SANTRONICdealer is qualified to assist you in the selection of the proper antenna to meet your application requirements.

For automobile installation, the whip antenna may be used with good effect. The most efficient and practical installation is a full quarter wave whip antenna mounted on the rear deck or fender top, midway between the rear window and bumper.

A short "Ioaded" whip antenna is more convenient to install on your automobile, although the efficiency is less than a full quarter wave whip antenna.

For marine installation, consult your dealer for information regarding an adequate grounding system and prevention of electrolysis between fittings on the hull and water.
