a) First, connect the ground stud of the amplifier (on the rear panel, marked GND) to the
station's grounding system (see
b) Connect a coaxial cable with a PL-259 plug from the transceiver output to the amplifier rear
panel RF INPUT socket.
If this is the first time you will use a power amplifier in your station, pay attention to the
coaxial cable type from the amplifier's output. It must handle the increased power
safely, particularly on the 10- and 6 meters bands. We recommend that you use RG213
or better. Check the same for the antenna selector and tuner as well as the antenna
itself (especially multi-band trap antennas).
c) Connect a coaxial cable from the amplifier output (on the rear panel, marked RF OUTPUT)
with a PL-259 plug to the antenna selector or tuner or to the antenna for the respective
band.
d) Run a cable terminated in a Phono (RCA) connector from the transceiver socket providing
"ground on transmit" to the amplifier rear panel KEY-IN socket.
