Antennas CB Because the maximum power output of the transmitter is limited by the FCC, the quality of your antenna is very important. To achieve the maximum transmission distance, Uniden strongly recommends that you install only a high quality antenna. You have just purchased a superior transceiver; don't diminish its performance by installing an inferior antenna. Only a properly matched antenna system will allow maximum power transfer from the 50-ohm transmission line to the radiating element. Your Uniden dealer is qualified to help you select the proper antenna for your requirements. A whip style antenna may be used for automobile installation. A short "loaded" whip antenna is easier to install on an automobile, but its efficiency is less than that of a full quarter-wave whip antenna. Scanner Your radio kit includes a window-mount antenna. Follow the directions included with the antenna for installation. GPS Receiver The GPS receiver provides location information so the radio can select local public safety channels from the scanner database. 1. Connect the RJ45 cable to the GPS receiver and to the radio. The GPS reciever automatically begins to acquire position information from the satellite. 2. The GPS icon, , dispays in about 1 minute when the radio receives GPS data. It remains on as long as GPS is connected and receiving position information. The icon goes away if the GPS disconnects and stops receiving position information. E-13
