KDK FM-2016A - Installation and Operating; Mobile Installation

3. INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
(A) MOBILE INSTALLATION
we Install mobile mounting bracket furnished with transceiver to any convenient
under-dash or other location using self-tapping sheet metal screws (4 x 12mm) and
washers provided. 3mm holes shouldbe pre-drilled for the 4mm self tapping screws.
2. The transceiver should be secured to the bracket using the 2 winged screws
provided. The bracket is designed so the transceiver can be slid forward or back-
wards in the grooves as well as varying the angle.
3 Connect antenna coax to the connector on the rear panel.
4. Connect power cable to power source. Red lead (+) and black lead (-). The
cable should be connected to power at a low impedance point, preferably directly
to the battery terminals or the main fuse block, otherwise extraneous noises may-
be induced during transmission at high power.
Be Connect microphone to receptacle on lower right corner of front panel.
(B) HOME STATION USE
aes Small rubber feet have been provided on the transceiver to lift its bottom
off the surface belowand permit audio from the speaker to be heard. However, for
easier access to the controls it is frequently helpful to tilt the control panel
facing slightly upwards. A mobile mounting bracket used underneath the trans-
ceiver is useful for this and brackets are available optionally from your KDK deal-
or.
aa Connect antenna coax to the connector on the rear panel.
3. Connect power cable to a suitable supply such as a regulated power supply or
battery. A good solid supply of 5A or more capacity is recommended.
4. Connect microphone to receptacle on lower right corner of front panel.

2. RECEIVING: -- During the above preparation the meter lamp will light up, the
frequency display LEDs and the RCV LED will be lit up and either random receiver
noises or an incoming signal will be heard from the loudspeaker.
a) If no incoming signal is heard, vary the frequency using the front panel con-
trols and locate an incoming signal. As soon as the signal is received, the meter
will deflect upwards and indicate the relative strength of the signal.
b) Squelch: -- During no-signal conditions, the random noises heard from the
speaker can be annoying. Turn the SQuelch control in a clock-wise direction until
these noises are just extinguished. This sets the squelch threshold and only in-
coming signals will now be heard from the speaker. Turning the control up further
may result in loosing weak signals and intermittent reception of intermediate sig-
