at the TX RF section of the transceiver while
transmitting. Absolutely! Do not touch the TX RF
section while transmitting.
3. GND Terminal
For safety and optimum performance, use this
terminal to connect the transceiver to a good
earth ground. Use a large diameter, short braided
cable for making ground connections. Refer to
page 12 for other notes about proper grounding.
