Using the Throw Over Long Wire Antenna
The long wire antenna should be unfurled and the end away from the manpack
transceiver should be attached to any structure available and as high as possible.
Note:- When using an un-tuned antenna such as the whip or the long wire the
section “2040 Antenna Select” in the standard menu should be used to enable the
automatic tuner i.e. select “Whip/Long wire” operation. When this is selected the in-
built tuner automatically tunes the whip or long wire whenever the unit transmits
after a channel change.
