Power Source; Antenna; Cfu-F8100 (Optional Cooling Fan) - Icom IC-F8101 Instruction Manual

■ Power source

The transceiver requires regulated DC power of
13.8 V and at least 28 A. There are two ways to sup-
ply power:
• Direct connection to a 12 V battery in your vehicle
through the supplied DC power cable.
• Use a DC power supply connected to an AC outlet.

■ Antenna

Many stations operate with a whip or long wire (insu-
lated back stay) antenna. However, these antennas
cannot be connected directly to the transceiver since
their impedance may not match with the transceiver
antenna connector.
