FOR AN EXTERNAL MAGNETIC MOUNT ANTENNA

a.) Push the female BNC connector attached to the cable end of the Mag Mount

Antenna onto the male BNC connector found on the left exterior of the Citation

briefcase. Be sure to align the tabs on the male connector with the slots on the female

connector for proper operation. Secure the two together by pressing the female

connector firmly onto the male connector until it stops, then twist the female connector

clockwise until you hear a click. The two connectors are then locked together.

b.) Locate the antenna whip and make sure the silver screw connector is attached to the

bottom of the whip. If it is not, first slide the whip through the hole in the silver screw

connector, making sure the threaded portion of the connector is facing away from the

antenna after insertion. Then screw the antenna assembly onto the magnetic base by

turning the screw connector clockwise onto the base. Hand tighten only. DO NOT

OVER TIGHTEN THE ANTENNA TO THE BASE.

c.) Select the External Antenna Operation via the ANT selector switch found on the

Citation's Control Panel . Observe the condition of the LED indicator above the ANT

switch. If the LED is RED, external antenna operation is selected. If the LED is

YELLOW, push the switch once to turn the LED to RED and set the unit in External

Antenna mode.

FOR INTERNAL ANTENNA:

a.) Select the Internal Antenna Operation via the ANT selector switch found on the

Citation's Control Panel . Observe the condition of the LED indicator above the ANT

switch. If the LED is YELLOW, internal antenna operation is selected. If the LED is

RED, push the switch once to turn the LED to YELLOW and set the unit in Internal

Antenna mode.

Your Citation 20 is now ready to either receive a transmission, record a transmission

received via the inboard receiver, or playback a prerecorded tape.

RECEIVING TRANSMISSIONS

1.) Select the Channel to be monitored - corresponding to the appropriate frequency for

compatibility with your transmitter - via the KEYPAD.

2.) Select the BANDWIDTH of the transmission you will be listening to

Select the bandwidth via the B/W switch found on the control panel, just to the right of the

keypad. This switch toggles the receiver between the new 12.5 kHz channel spacing NTIA-102

extra narrow narrowband standard, and the older 25 kHz channel spacing wider narrowband

standard. Each time you press the switch, the LED indicator cycles color from RED to YELLOW.

When the LED is RED, the unit is in the NEW 12.5 kHz mode. When the LED is YELLOW, the

unit is in the OLD 25 kHz mode.

3.) Set the RECD/PLAY switch to the RECD (record) position.

This switch toggles the Citation's audio-play system between the reception from the receiver and

the playback function of the on-board recorder. Each time you press the switch, the LED

indicator cycles color from RED to YELLOW. When the LED is RED, the unit is in the

RECORDER PLAYBACK mode. When the LED is YELLOW, the unit is in the MONITOR

RECEIVER AND RECORD RECEPTION mode.
