Installation and Configuration
68 Transceivers 6200 Series DV14307.03 Issue 06 February 2021
• Any operating kinematics, trimming and all control handles must be absolutely free in all
directions.
• Ensure the BNC antenna plug is not shortened between inner and outer connector
(ohmmeter).
o A measured resistance of 0.0 Ω shows a short inside antenna connector (0.6...1 Ω
shows the antenna cable resistance), while an internally (static) protected antenna is
used.
o A simple rod antenna is tested for low resistive contact between inner cable conductor
and radiator, and outer conductor to counter weight.
• Check the antenna matching:
o Using 50 Ω SWR meter over the whole frequency range for VSWR ≤ 3:1.
o It may be helpful or necessary to change slightly the length of the middle radiator, or
counter weight length for optimized antenna efficiency and matching.
