CB2 Manual 2.2 Connections Item Connector VHF (SO239) Power/Data GPS Antenna (TNC) NMEA2000 LED Indicator Button USB (Micro-B) To avoid damage to the cables, ensure at least 50mm (2.0 inches) is available below the Transceiver to allow the cables to turn. Y1-03-0346 Rev. - Page 10 CB2 Manual 2.2.1 RF Connectors The VHF antenna should be connected to the SO239 socket. If the vessel is equipped with a single VHF antenna that is required to be shared between the CB2 and a VHF Radio Transceiver it is necessary to use an active antenna splitter. Attempting to connect two transmitting devies to a single antenna without a splitter will cause severe damage to either or both devices.
