4.1 LOCATION

1. The radio can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting
location that:
• is far enough from any compass to avoid any deviation in compass
reading due to the speaker magnet
• provides accessibility to the front panel controls
• allows connection to a power source and an antenna
• has nearby space for installation of a microphone hanger
• the antenna must be mounted at least 3 feet from radio

4.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Reverse polarity connections will damage the radio!
Connect the power cord and antenna to the radio. Antenna and Power
Supply connections are as follows (see Figure 2):
Antenna
1. Mount the antenna at least 3 feet away from the radio. At the rear of
the radio, connect the antenna cable. It must have a PL259
connector. RG-8/U coaxial cable must be used if the antenna is 25
feet or more from the radio. RG58 cable can be used for distances
less than 25 feet.
