on the ANTENNA
SWITCH to terminals

through #8 on the console
using a good grade of 8 conductor cable. Be sure to
use the cable clamp on the ANTENNA SWITCH

tion is used. This will assure good grounding of
antennas. Grounding of the ANTENNA SWITCH
Connect antennas to coax receptacles on the
ANTENNA SWITCH using a good grade of
50
ohm coaxial cable and PL-259 connectors. Connect
the single transmission line to be used to the coax
receptacle labelled "C" using a PL-259 connector.
Make a record of the number of coax receptacle
used for each specific antenna. These numbers
will correspond to the numbers on the console
REMOTE SWITCH.
It is advisable to use the ANTENNA SWITCH
even if only one antenna is used, as it provides
easy grounding of the antenna when leaving the
station and future antenna installations are then
easily accomplished.
Connect the single transmission line from the
ANTENNA SWITCH to the coax receptacle la-
belled "C" on rear panel of console.
Connect the receivers, transmitters or transceivers
using a good grade of
50
ohm coaxial cable and
PL-259 connectors
to the other coax receptacles
used for each specific radio. These numbers will
correspond to the numbers on the console LOCAL
