■ Antenna installation
D Antenna location
To obtain maximum performance from the transceiver, select
a high-quality antenna and mount it in a good location. A non-
radial antenna should be used when using a magnetic mount.
D Antenna splitter
You can use a dual band antenna because a duplexer is in-
stalled in the transceiver. However, an external duplexer must
be connected when using a separate antenna for each band.
D Antenna connector
The antenna uses a PL-259 connector.
