■
Unpacking
After unpacking, immediately report any damage to the deliv-
ering carrier or dealer. Keep the shipping cartons.
For a description and a diagram of accessory equipment in-
cluded with the ID-1, see
‘
Supplied Accessories
’
on p. iv of
this manual.
■
Selecting a location
Select a location for the transceiver that allows adequate air
circulation, free from extreme heat, cold, or vibrations, and
away from TV sets, TV antenna elements, radios and other
electromagnetic sources.
■
Antenna connection
For radio communications, the antenna is of critical impor-
tance, along with output power and sensitivity. Select an-
tenna(s), such as a well-matched 50
Ω
antenna, and feedline.
1.5:1 or better of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is
recommended for your desired band. Of course, the trans-
mission line should be a coaxial cable.
CAUTION:
Protect your transceiver from lightning by using
a lightning arrestor.
NOTE:
There are many publications covering proper an-
tennas and their installation. Check with your local dealer
for more information and recommendations.

Antenna location for mobile operation
To obtain maximum performance from the transceiver, select
a high-quality antenna and mount it in a good location. A non-
radial antenna should be used when using a magnetic mount.
