1) Installation of a CB antenna
The antenna is one of the most critical parts in the setup. The type of antenna and its location
has a great effect on the range of operation. Please consider the following criteria for selec-
tion of the best location and installation of your antenna:
> Make sure that the antenna is designed for radio operation on 27 MHz.
13
> The location of the antenna should be as high as possible without any obstacles nearby.
13
> The aerial cable should not be damaged and the plugs should be properly connected.
13
> Make sure that the antenna cable is not bent.

When you install a mobile antenna please note the following advices:
> The antenna should be fixed in the center of a big body-part, e.g. the trunk.
> The mobile antenna coil should have the closest possible contact with a conducting metallic
15
surface of the bodywork of the car.
15
There are also some other possibilities to fix the antenna onto the car without the necessity
15
to drill a hole into the bodywork of your car, e.g. mounting the antenna onto the gutter, mount-
15
ing the antenna onto a holder on the cover of the boot or using an antenna with a magnetic
16
foot or using a windscreen antenna.

2) Aerial Connection
17
Before pressing the transmit key, a suitable aerial must be connected. The PL259 plug of the
17
aerial cable ( coax ) is connected to the SO239 socket ( 13 ) on the rear panel. Make sure,
that all plugs are firmly tightened and properly soldered. Insufficient connections can damage
the radio and will reduce the range of operation.
17
The antenna should be matched with the radio, otherwise a part of the transmit power will be
17
reflected at the antenna and will not be radiated. This reduces the range of operation. The
17
matching of antenna to radio, is performed by a length adjustment of the antenna radial in
17
aim for a minimal SWR ratio which can be measured by a SWR meter,e.g. TEAM SWR
1180P. After the measurement the SWR meter should be removed from the antenna line.

3) Installation in the car
When you want to fix the unit in your car, you can either fasten it with the help of the included
mounting bracket below the dashboard. Always mount the transceiver where the switches are
easily accessible. Other important points to consider for a correct mounting position are:
> no interference of the roadworthiness,
> good access to the controls of the car,
> sufficient air circulation to prevent overheating of the radio in transmit mode.
Please consider the angle of view onto the display while driving. From a certain angle of view,
the readability of the display diminishes. An intensive solar irradiation can also affect the rea-
dability of the display. So it is recommended to check the best position before the final instal-
lation. The unit can easily be fixed onto different positions in the car by using the enclosed
mounting bracket.
