Connecting The Antenna; Cbantennatips; Connecting An External Speaker (Optional); Connecting A Public Address (Pa) Speaker (Optional) - Uniden Grant XL Operation Manual

Connecting the Antenna
Connect the CB antenna plug to the Antenna Connector on the rear panel. (For more
information on antenna installation, please refer to the instruction guide that came with
your antenna.)
CB Antenna Tips
.
A vertically polarized quarter-wavelength w~ip antenna provides the most
reliable operation and greatest range. The shorter loaded-type whip antennas are
more attractive and compact than the larger full quarter-wavelength whip.
Although the reduced height decreases possible clearance problems, the shorter
antennas may not provide the same transmitting and receiving range possible
with the longer ones.
.
A 3-way combination antenna allows you to operate all three bands (AM, FM,
and CB) with one antenna. However, it will provide a shorter transmitting and
receiving range than a standard "single band" antenna designed for CB use only.
You may also notice a higher SWR with this type of antenna.
Connecting an External Speaker (Optional)
Connect an optional external speaker to the External Speaker Jack on the rear of the
transceiver. For the external speaker, use an 8a speaker with at least a 4-watt rating.
When connected, the external speaker automatically disables the internal speaker. The
external speaker will provide high performance remote receiver momtoring.
Connecting a Public Address (PA) Speaker (Optional)
Connect an optional Public Address speaker to the PA. Speaker Jack on the back of
the transceiver. For the PA speaker, use an 8a speaker with at least a4-watt rating. Be
sure the PA speaker is directed away from the microphone to avoid acoustic feedback.
When you are operating the PA system with high output level, greater separation and
isolation between the microphone and PA speaker may be required to prevent feedback.
When this unit is used as a public address system, set the CB/PA Switch to the PA posi-
tion.
