ANTENNA CONNECTION Before operating, you must first install an efficient, well-tuned antenna. The success of your installation will depend largely on the type of antenna and its correct installation. The transceiver can give excellent results if the antenna system and its installation are given careful attention. Use a low-loss coaxial feed line that also has a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω, to match the transceiver input impedance. Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed lines having an impedance other than 50 Ω reduces the efficiency of the antenna system and can cause interference to nearby broadcast television receivers, radio receivers, and other electronic equipment. ◆ Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other matched load may damage the transceiver. Always connect the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting. ◆ All fixed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or transceiver damage.

ANTENNA CONNECTION
Before operating, you must first install an efficient, well-tuned antenna.
The
success of your installation will depend largely on the type of antenna and its
correct installation.
The transceiver can give excellent results if the antenna
system and its installation are given careful attention.
Use a low-loss coaxial feed line that also has a characteristic impedance of
50
Ω
, to match the transceiver input impedance.
Coupling the antenna to the
transceiver via feed lines having an impedance other than 50
Ω
reduces the
efficiency of the antenna system and can cause interference to nearby broadcast
television receivers, radio receivers, and other electronic equipment.
◆
Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other matched load may damage the
transceiver.
Always connect the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting.
◆
All fixed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and/or transceiver damage.
