Protection against water ingress
Important
You must protect the cable connection with rubber vulcanizing
tape as shown in the pictures below. This protection prevents
water seeping into the VHF radio, cable and connectors.
VHF antenna
Use the connector marked ANT to connect the VHF antenna to the radio with a
50 Ohm coaxial cable with low loss, e.g. RG214. Install a PL259 plug at the
cable end.
Place the antenna as high and clear of obstructions as possible. Make sure
that the horizontal distance to metal parts is minimum 1.5 m (5 ft).
Connector type: female SO239 for PL259 plug.
Ground stud
To ground the radio connect a ground wire from
the ground stud of the radio to a suitable
grounding point. Use an appropriately sized
wire. The ground stud is located above the VHF
antenna connector.
