Selecting a location
Select a location for the repeater that allows adequate
air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold, or vibra-
tions, and away from TV sets, TV antenna elements,
radios and other electromagnetic sources.

Antenna connection
For radio communications, the antenna is of critical im-
portance, along with output power and sensitivity. Se-
lecting antenna(s), such as a well-matched 50 Ω an-
tenna, and feedline. 1.5:1 or better of Voltage Standing
Wave Ratio (VSWR) is recommended for the desired
band. Of course, the transmission line should be a
coaxial cable.

CAUTION:
Protect the repeater from lightning by
using a lightning arrestor.
NOTE:
There are many publications covering
proper antennas and their installation. Check with
your local dealer for more information and recom-
mendations.

Duplexer
A duplexer is separately required when only one an-
tenna is used for both transmitting and receiving. Se-
lect a duplexer according to the transmitting and re-
ceiving frequencies. Ask your Dealer for details.

Grounding
To prevent electrical shock, television interference
(TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other prob-
lems, ground the transceiver through the [GND] termi-
nal on the rear panel.

lems, ground the transceiver through the [GND] termi-
nal on the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap
to a long earth-sunk copper rod. Make the distance be-
tween the [GND] terminal and ground as short as pos-
sible.
