CAUTION: DO NOT short pin 1 to ground as this can
damage the internal 8 V regulator. DC voltage is applied
to pin 1 for microphone operation. Only Icom micro-
phones are recommended.
n Antenna connection
For radio communications, the antenna is a critical
component, along with output power and sensitivity.
Select antenna(s), such as a well-matched 50 ø an-
tenna, and feedline. 1.5:1 or better of Voltage Stand-
ing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is recommended for desired
band. Of course, the transmission line should be a
coaxial cable.
CAUTION: Protect repeater from lightning by using
a lightning arrestor.
NOTE: There are many publications that describe
proper antennas and their installation. Check with
your local dealer for more information and recom-
mendations.
