Fig. 2-1 Connections
a) Connect the station's grounding system to the wing-nut ground stud of the amplifier (on the rear panel,
marked GND in Fig. 2-1).
b) Connect a suitable coaxial cable between the transceiver output to the amplifier (rear panel) RF INPUT
SO-239 connector, using PL-259 connector.
CAUTION
The coaxial cable from the amplifier's output must be capable of handling the amplifier’s output power
safely, particularly on the 10-meter band. It is suggested that, at a minimum, RG8X (including RG8MINI,
RK50-4-11, RK50-4-13) or, even better, RG213 (including RK50-7-11) coaxial cable be used.
c) Connect a suitable coaxial cable from the antenna to the appropriate amplifier output (on the rear panel,
marked ANT1 or ANT2), using a PL-259 plug.
d) Run a shielded cable from the "ground on transmit" socket or terminal on your transceiver to the
amplifier rear panel KEY-IN socket. The KEY-IN socket uses a standard RCA phono plug.
NOTE
Your amplifier will not work if KEY-IN is not connected properly.
Transceiver producers assign different names to their “ground on transmit” output terminals, e.g., TX-GND,
SEND, T/R-LINE, etc. Some transceivers may require that "ground on transmit" be implemented by a
software command, or by changing the setting of a switch on the rear panel or inside the transceiver. Check
your transceiver's manual for more information on keying amplifiers.
e) Preparation of the wall outlet for the amplifier.
WARNING
If your amplifier is only fitted with one line (mains) fuse, it is suitable for the European Community ONLY.
Your dealer will check that your amplifier is correctly fused before it is shipped to you, based upon your
indicated location. Customers should check with a qualified electrician if the amplifier is to be used outside
the country in which it was purchased.
Due to different line (mains) standards in different countries, the dealer will provide the correct Safety Class
I plug for your location. The ground lead of the power cable is colored yellow with two green stripes. If you
have any doubts about the correct way to connect these wires, consult your dealer.
