GME have a large range of suitable 27 MHz CB antennas to
suit most installations and applications. We recommend you
contact your local GME dealer for advice.
Connect the antenna cable to the rear antenna socket using a
PL259 coaxial connector.
NOISE SUPPRESSION
27 MHz CB radio can be prone to electrical and ignition
interference. The reason is that electrical noise is a form
of AM transmission similar to that used by your radio and
your radio’s receiver is very sensitive. In most cases, ignition
noise can be greatly reduced or eliminated by selecting the
Noise Limiter (NL)
key on the radio. In some severe cases,
additional suppression may need to be fi tted to the ignition
system of your vehicle, in which case we recommend you
consult an Auto Electrician for advice specifi c to
your installation.
FITTING THE MICROPHONE
The microphone uses a miniature 6 pin telephone style plug
and socket.
Fitting microphone to the front panel
1. Position the microphone plug so the plastic tab faces
sideways to the left on the front panel. Press the plug into
the socket until it ‘clicks’.
2. Gently press the rubber strain relief into the hole
surrounding the socket so that the slot around the strain
relief fi ts neatly inside the lip of the hole.
Fitting microphone to the rear panel
1. Position the microphone plug so the plastic tab faces
upwards on the rear panel. Press the plug into the socket
until it ‘clicks’.
2. Gently press the rubber strain relief into the hole
surrounding the socket so that the slot around the strain
relief fi ts neatly inside the lip of the hole.
Removing the microphone
1. Squeeze the rubber strain relief near the front panel to
disengage the slot, and slide the strain relief back along
the microphone cord.
2. Press the small plastic tab on the microphone plug
towards the plug to unlock it, while gently pulling the plug
outwards. If the plug does not come out easily, the tab has
not released correctly and should be pressed again. You
may need a small bladed screwdriver for this task, as the
tab can be diffi cult to reach with your fi ngers.
If required, replacement microphones are available with plug
and rubber boot already fi tted.
Rear Microphone Connection
The TX2700 also has a rear microphone connection. To use
this facility, remove the rubber grommet on the rear of the
radio and insert into the front panel of the radio. Insert the
microphone plug into rear microphone connection.
Microphone Extension Lead
The LEM6P is a 4 metre microphone extension lead that can
be fi tted to the microphone socket.
