An antenna system consists of an antenna, feed 
line, and ground.  The transceiver can give excellent 
results if the antenna system and its installation are 
given careful attention.  Use a properly adjusted 50 

: 

antenna of good quality, a high-quality 50 

: coaxial 

cable, and top-quality connectors.  All connections 
must be clean and tight.

After making the connections, match the impedance 
of the coaxial cable and antenna so that the SWR is 
1.5:1 or less.  High SWR will cause the transmit output 
to drop and may lead to radio frequency interference 
with consumer products such as stereo receivers 
and televisions.  You may even cause interference 
with your own transceiver.  Reports that your signal is 
distorted could indicate that your antenna system is 
not efficiently radiating your transceiver’s power.

Connect your primary HF/ 50 MHz antenna feed 
line to ANT 1 on the rear of the transceiver.  If you 
are using two HF/ 50 MHz antennas, connect the 
secondary antenna to ANT 2.  Refer to page 9 for the 
location of the antenna connectors.

The LF band is outputted only from the 

DRV

 

terminal.

Note:
◆  Transmitting without 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 transceiver 
damage.

◆  The transceiver’s protection circuit will activate when the 

SWR is greater than 1.5:1; however, do not rely on protection 
to compensate for a poorly functioning antenna system.

At a minimum, a good DC ground is required to 
prevent such dangers as electric shock.  For superior 
communications, a good RF ground is required 
against which the antenna system can operate.  Both 
of these conditions can be met by providing a good 
earth ground for your station.  Bury one or more 
ground rods or a large copper plate under the ground, 
then connect this to the transceiver GND terminal.  
Use heavy gauge wire or a copper strap, cut as short 
as possible, for this connection.  Do not use a gas 
pipe, an electrical conduit, or a plastic water pipe as a 
ground.

Even in areas where lightning storms are less 
common, there is always a chance that a storm will 
occur each year.  Consider carefully how to protect 
your equipment and home from lightning.  The 
installation of a lightning arrestor is a start, but there 
is more that you can do.  For example, terminate 
your antenna system transmission lines at an entry 
panel that you install outside your home.  Ground this 
entry panel to a good outside ground, then connect 
the appropriate feed lines between the entry panel 
and your transceiver.  When a lightning storm occurs, 
disconnecting the feed lines from your transceiver will 
ensure additional protection.

In order to use this transceiver, you need a separate 
13.8 V DC power supply that must be purchased 
separately.  Do not directly connect the transceiver 
to an AC outlet.  Use the supplied DC power cable to 
connect the transceiver to a regulated power supply.  
Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires. 
The current capacity of the power supply must be  
20.5 A peak or more.

First, connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC 
power supply; the red lead to the positive terminal and 
the black lead to the negative terminal.  Next, connect 
the DC power cable to the transceiver’s DC power 
connector.

Note:
◆  Before connecting the DC power supply to the transceiver, 

be sure to switch OFF the DC power supply and transceiver.

◆  Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you 

make all connections.
