  • Page 15: Ground Connection

    Ground Connection  Locate a strong spot in the metal near the transceiver to connect the ground lead. A good mechanical connection of the ground lead is vital, since a bad connection may cause the transceiver to locate poorly and behave erratically. Scrape away any paint or coating on the metal where the ground will be attached, and then use a star washer between the metal and the ground terminal.
