Antenna Considerations
Mobile Installation
The FT-8500 is designed for use with antennas ha-
ing an impedance near 50 11 at all operating frequei
cies. For optimum performance use a high qualit
carefully-designed antenna. The antenna should b
connected whenever power is on. to avoid damag
that could otherwise result if transmission occur
accidentally without an antenna.
Ensure your antenna is designed to handle 50 Watt
continuous transmitter power. For best performanc
and safety in mobile installations. mount the antenn
in the center of a flat surface, out of reach of hurna
hands: 50 Watts can cause an RF burn to anyon
touching the antenna during transmission!
For best performance use the shortest possit»
length of quality coaxial cable. Use a matching type
M plug (80-239) for the jack on the transceiver pigta
(European versions use Type-N).
The FT-8500 must only be installed in cars having (
negative ground electrical system. The transceive
can be installed in one piece using the supplle:
MMB-36 mobile mounting bracket, or in two piece:
using the optional Y8K-8500 separation kit anr
MMB-60 quick release mounting bracket. Mount thr
transceiver where the display, controls and micro
phone are easily accessible. The transceiver may br
installed in any position, but should not be near

Important! Ensure the power is first switched off
before removing the front sub-panel. The transceiver
