Once you choose an antenna, follow its mounting instruc-

tions.Then route the cable to the transceiver and connect the ca-

ble to the ANT jack on the back of the transceiver.

Cautions:

• Avoid routing the cable next to sharp edges or moving parts,

which might damage the cable.

• Do not run the cable next to power cables or other radio

antenna cables.

• Do not run the cable through the engine compartment or

other areas that produce extreme heat.

To take advantage of your radio’s maximum range, adjust the an-

tenna’s Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) using an SWR meter (not

supplied).

Follow the instructions supplied with the SWR meter and anten-

na to adjust your antenna’s SWR values of 2.0:1 are generally ac-

ceptable, with readings of 1.5:1 or lower being more desirable.
