INSTALLATION [general]
A regulated DC power supply (13.8 V DC, 9.5 A or more) is required.
It is recommended that the PS-430 be used for a power supply.
Use of the PS-430
NOTE:
Preferably, voltage should
be adjusted to 13.8 V DC.
Current capacity is more
than 9.5 A.
The regulated supply should
be equipped with a built-in
Ground plane
antenna
protection circuit for both
overcurrent and over-
voltage.
CAUTION
A battery charging power
supply cannot be used.

Various types of fixed station antennas are commercially available, select your
desired antenna according to your installation space and application.
Note that the SWR of your antenna should be less than 1.5. A high SWR will
cause the TM-201B protective circuit to operate, reducing the transmit output
power.
Transceiver performance depends
largely on the type of antenna used.
For fixed station operation there are
ground plane antennas (omni-
directional) and Yagi antennas (uni-
directional). The Yagi antenna is
suitable for long distance operation
(OX) or communication with a
specific party.
(having excellent directivity and
antenna is generally used for local
operation.)
