Antenna information
The antenna (not supplied) is of critical importance, to maximize your
output power and receiver senstivity.
A poor quality antenna or one not designed for the specific frequency band
you are using will give poor performance. You should purchase an antenna
designed for the 477MHz frequency band.
Antenna installation
1. Connect the antenna to the rear antenna socket using a PL259 coaxial connector.
2. To obtain maximum performance from the radio, select a high quality antenna
and mount it in a good location.
Do not press the PTT or CALL button
before installing the antenna.
Optional accessories
If required you may install an external (8 ohm, minimum 5w power) speaker
fitted with a 3.5mm plug (not supplied).
There is a jack located on the rear of the radio.
