INSTALLATION Hardware installation Refer to the diagram below for connections. Personal computer Optional speaker (SP-7, SP-10, SP-12) to an RS-232C port Ground to an AC adapter Remove the protective sheet and attach to a specified place.
Antenna installation Antennas play a very important role in receiver operation. Connecting a poor quality antenna to the IC-PCR1000 will re- sult in less than optimum performance. Select antenna(s), such as a well-matched 50 feedline. 1.5:1 of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is recommended for a desired band.
