Quick Start
1. Locate a proper area where you would like to erect your loop
antenna. Initially the system could be operated with the antenna
lying on the floor.
2. Connect your coupler to the transceiver and a suitable 12VDC
power supply. This can be the same source as the power supply to
the radio if it is a 12VDC unit. Avoid regulated linear or switch-
ing power supplies as they may be susceptible to RF radiation
and may lose regulation and apply higher voltage than permissi-
ble. Power supplies may also lose regulation at peak modulation
and cause intermittent operation.
3. Connect your loop antenna to the two terminals of the coupler;
one hot side, one ground side. Both have a wing nut terminal to
allow easy attachment.
4. If urgent operation is required, transmit on an emergency fre-
quency with the antenna on the ground. Although this setup is not
efficient, it will allow you to easily establish a communication
link in an emergency.
5. Configure your antenna in single or multiple loops (not to exceed
four loops).
6. Elevate your system to any surrounding high points such as a
tree, roof, top of car, ceiling, mast, etc. Attach with 4 ropes and
clips provided. The coupler can also be elevated using the fifth
piece of rope.
7. After your initial contact, you may improve your antenna installa-
tion following the guidelines in this manual.
