1-6 Viking Mobile Radio Operating Manual
Radio Overview
When the control is used with a remotely mounted radio, a Junction Box (Part No. 023-
5300-130) must be used. This Junction Box provides various connections for the control
and an external speaker, along with connections for programming and rekeying the remote
radio.
1.6.2 Base Station Unit
A Base Unit power supply is available that can be used to power the Viking radio from
110 volt AC line voltage. This lets the Viking be used in a field office, base station, or
headquarters building.

Consult with your EFJohnson representative for additional accessories that can be used
with your EFJohnson mobile radio.
