or Weather/2-Way Radio Connection (Listen Only): 
q   It is very important to follow these instructions carefully. Failure to do so may 
result in serious damage to your radio equipment or the Series 9800 Marine 
Intercom System. 
q   Locate the Speaker/Audio outputs on the radio. Determine the method of connection 
(terminals, connector, etc.). 
q   See Figure 18 & Table 3 which show how to connect an isolation transformer between 
the radio and the C98-20AX cable. Stereo installations require two transformers. 
q   The installer will fabricate the circuit in Figure 18, mount it in an appropriate enclosure, 
and interface it with the radio and the C98-20AX cable. 
q   The David Clark Company recommends using a SP-70 transformer (P/N: 09363P-34). 
q   Note that two 1000pF, 50WVDC capacitors are also required.
