Installation
Place or mount the RBI-1 in close proximity to the Kenwood mobile radio to be used. Connect
the RBI-1 with the provided PG-4H Cable from the 8 pin modular jack marked "RADIO" to the
Kenwood Microphone jack. Only Port 1 (140/DUAL) will support a Dual Band radio. Port 1 is
the only Port the 140 Mhz radio can be connected to.
The RBI will support all 4 bands (140/220/440/1200) as follows:
If Port one (on the RBI-1, not the controller) is filled, Port 2 is for 220 only, Port 3 is for 440
only, Port 4 is for 1200 only. Basically, if the selected band is unavailable on Port 1 it will go to
the port assigned to that band.
Installation instructions are included with the RLC-ICM for connecting it to the IC-900/901
modules.
Building the RBI-1/RLC-ICM Cable
It is important to keep your interface cable as short as possible. The cable should never be
more than 6 feet in length; shorter is better.
