  • Page 10: Installation And Interconnections

    The FT 5000 is designed for use with any antenna system providing a 50 Ohm resistive impedance at the desired operat- ing frequency. While minor excursions from the 50-Ohm specification are of no consequence, if the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) present at the Antenna jack is greater than 3:1, the Antenna Tuner may not be able to reduce the impedance mis- match to an acceptable value.

  • Page 11: Grounding

    The FT 5000 transceiver, like any other HF communications apparatus, requires an effective ground system for maxi- mum electrical safety and best communications effectiveness. A good ground system can contribute to station efficiency in a number of ways: It can minimize the possibility of electrical shock to the operator. It can minimize RF currents flowing on the shield of the coaxial cable and the chassis of the transceiver;...

    Follow the below illustration and advice regarding the proper connection of antenna coaxial cables, ground cable, and the AC power cable. Use a short, thick, braided cable to connect your station equipment to the buried ground rod (or alter- native earth ground system). Do not place the transceiver in a location with direct exposure to sunshine.
